+## SAML configuration
+
+A SAML provider entry accepts the following fields:
+
+- `name`: A short identifier for the provider.
+- `type`: Set to `saml`.
+- `url`: The identity provider single sign-on endpoint that CryptPad redirects users to.
+- `issuer`: The service provider entity identifier for this CryptPad instance.
+- `cert`: The identity provider signing certificate, as a PEM string or an array of PEM strings. CryptPad uses it to verify the signature on the SAML response.
+- `privateKey` and `signingCert`: An optional service provider key pair, used only when the identity provider requires CryptPad to sign its authentication requests. Most deployments omit both.
+- `disableRequestedAuthnContext`: Optional. Set to `true` to stop CryptPad from requesting a specific authentication context. When unset, node-saml requests the `PasswordProtectedTransport` context.
+- `wantAuthnResponseSigned`: Optional. Set to `false` to accept a signed assertion inside an unsigned response. When unset, node-saml requires the response itself to be signed.
+
+The certificate value must be valid PEM or base64. When you paste a certificate inline, keep every line flush against the left margin, because leading whitespace from indenting the block to match the surrounding code prevents the certificate from parsing.
+
+### Microsoft Entra ID
+
+In the Entra enterprise application, set the Identifier (Entity ID) to the same value as the `issuer` field, for example `https://your-domain/saml/metadata`, and set the Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) to `https://your-domain/ssoauth`. Download the Base64 signing certificate from the same application and use it as the `cert` value.
+
+Two Entra defaults commonly need attention. First, node-saml requests the `PasswordProtectedTransport` authentication context with exact matching. Entra rejects the sign-in with error AADSTS75011 when the user completes multi-factor or passwordless authentication, because the method no longer matches the requested context. Setting `disableRequestedAuthnContext: true` allows Entra to apply its own policy.
+
+Second, Entra signs the assertion but not the response wrapper by default, while node-saml requires a signed response and otherwise returns the `Invalid document signature` error. Set the Entra Signing Option to "Sign SAML response and assertion" to keep the stronger posture, or set `wantAuthnResponseSigned: false` to accept assertion-only signing. The assertion signature stays required in both cases.
+
+A working Entra provider entry looks like this:
+
+```
+{
+    name: 'entra',
+    type: 'saml',
+    url: 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/saml2',
+    issuer: 'https://your-domain/saml/metadata',
+    cert: `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
+<base64 lines, flush left, no indentation>
+-----END CERTIFICATE-----`,
+    disableRequestedAuthnContext: true,
+    wantAuthnResponseSigned: false,
+}
+```
