This guide covers how to configure [Ironclad](https://support.ironcladapp.com/hc/articles/12286012625559-Set-Up-Generic-SSO-SAML-Integration) as a SAML application in Cloudflare Zero Trust.

2. Select **Add an application** > **SaaS**.
3. For **Application**, enter `Ironclad` and select the corresponding textbox that appears.
4. For the authentication protocol, select **SAML**.
5. Select **Add application**.
6. Copy the **SSO Endpoint** and **Public key**.
7. Keep this window open. You will finish this configuration in step [3. Finish adding a SaaS application to Cloudflare Zero Trust](#3-finish-adding-a-saas-application-to-cloudflare-zero-trust).

2. Configure [Access policies](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/policies/) for the application.

3. Save the application.

## 4. Add a test user to Ironclad and test the integration

1. In Ironclad, select your profile picture > **Company settings** > **Users & Groups**.
2. Select **Invite User**.
3. For **Email addresses**, add your desired email address for your test user.
4. For **Sign-in Method**, ensure **Sign in with (your-team-domain.cloudflareaccess.com)** is selected
