Simplify and Secure User Access with Single Sign-On (SSO) for HiveMQ Cloud
We’re excited to share that Single Sign-On (SSO) using your own Identity Provider is coming to HiveMQ Cloud! This new capability, just rolled out for our Enterprise customers, is designed to make user access management simpler, safer, and more scalable for organizations that rely on Identity Providers (IdPs) like Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and Auth0.
Why We’re Adding SSO Support
Managing user access across multiple systems can quickly become a challenge for enterprise IT teams. Password fatigue, manual onboarding/offboarding, and inconsistent access policies are all common pain points. With SSO, we're giving our customers a way to integrate HiveMQ Cloud into their existing identity and access management frameworks—no extra overhead or duplicated effort required.
This launch brings:
Seamless authentication via your organization’s existing IdP
Better security through centralized policy enforcement and support for MFA
Improved compliance with consistent access control and audit trails
What’s In It for Your Team
With SSO enabled, your users can access HiveMQ Cloud using the same corporate credentials they already use for other tools. This eliminates the need to manage another set of passwords, improves login experience, and reduces friction, especially for large teams.
Your IT team will benefit from:
Centralized control over user access
Frictionless onboarding and de-provisioning
Peace of mind knowing that your HiveMQ Cloud has the same level of security as your other Enterprise applications
How to Get Started with SSO on HiveMQ Cloud
SSO is available starting now for all HiveMQ Cloud Enterprise customers upon request. The initial release supports the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol with out-of-the-box integrations for:
Okta
Azure Active Directory
Google Workspace
Auth0
To learn more, please read our documentation.
If you’re already on the Enterprise Plan, you’ll be able to enable SSO. To do that, simply contact your customer success manager. If you’re on a different plan and are interested in this feature, contact us to learn more about upgrading.
