+
+## Preparation
+
+The following placeholders are used in this guide:
+
+- `authentik.company` is the FQDN of the authentik installation.
+
+:::info
+This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Changing settings not mentioned in this guide can prevent single sign-on from working correctly.
+:::
+
+## KnowBe4 configuration
+
+1. Sign in to the KnowBe4 Admin Console.
+2. Navigate to **Account Integrations** > **SAML**.
+3. Enable the options that match your deployment requirements. A common configuration enables:
+    - **Enable SAML SSO**
+    - **Disable non-SAML Logins for All Users**
+    - **Allow Admins w/MFA to Bypass SAML Login**
+    - **Allow Account Creation from SAML Login**
+4. Provide the authentik endpoints and certificate details:
+    - **IdP SSO Target URL**: `https://authentik.company/application/saml/<application_slug>/sso/binding/redirect/`
+    - **IdP Cert Fingerprint**: the SHA-256 thumbprint of the authentik signing certificate you will use for this integration (recorded in authentik under **System** > **Certificates**).
+5. Note the read-only values displayed by KnowBe4; you will copy these into authentik:
+    - **Entity ID**
+    - **SSO Callback (ACS) URL**
+
+## authentik configuration
+
+Create a SAML application and provider in authentik using the values supplied by KnowBe4.
+
+### Create an application and provider in authentik
+
+1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
+2. Navigate to **Applications** > **Applications** and click **Create with Provider** to create an application and provider pair.
+
+- **Application**: provide a descriptive name such as `KnowBe4`, optionally assign a group, choose a policy engine mode, and configure any UI settings. Record the **slug** because it is used in the IdP URLs you entered in KnowBe4.
+- **Choose a Provider type**: select **SAML Provider**.
+- **Configure the Provider**:
+    - Provide a name (or accept the auto-generated value) and select the authorization flow to use.
+    - Set the **ACS URL** to the **SSO Callback (ACS) URL** displayed in KnowBe4.
+    - Set the **Issuer** to the **Entity ID** shown in KnowBe4.
+    - Set the **Audience** to the same **Entity ID** value.
+    - Set the **Service Provider Binding** to `Post`.
+    - Under **Advanced protocol settings**, choose any available certificate as the **Signing Certificate**, enable **Sign Assertions**. The certificate you select is the one whose SHA-256 thumbprint you entered in KnowBe4.
+- **Configure Bindings** _(optional)_: create a [binding](/docs/add-secure-apps/flows-stages/bindings/) (policy, group, or user) to control which users see the KnowBe4 application on the **My Applications** page.
+
+3. Click **Submit** to save the application and provider.
+
+:::note
+If SSO misconfiguration locks you out and you enabled **Allow Admins w/MFA to Bypass SAML Login**, use the **Bypass-SSO Login URL** displayed in KnowBe4 to authenticate with your credentials and fix or disable the SAML settings.
+:::
+
+## Configuration verification
+
+1. Open a new browser session (or private window) and browse to `https://de.knowbe4.com/` (replace with your regional KnowBe4 portal if different).
+2. Enter your business email address, and click **Next**.
+3. Confirm that you are redirected to authentik for authentication. Sign in with an account permitted to access KnowBe4.
+4. After successful authentication, verify that you return to the KnowBe4 console without being prompted for additional credentials.
