# Rippling SAML SSO

> Here we will show you how to set up your own custom SAML application for Rippling SAML

## Create application

1. You'll need to create a new Custom App from your Rippling account if the app is not already in the Rippling app directory.
2. Go to **IT Management > Custom App** from the left navigation menu.

3. Click **Create New App** button to create a new application.
4. From the next screen, fill in the following fields:
   * **App Name**
   * **Select Categories**
   * **Upload Logo**
   * **What type of app would you like to create?** - Make sure you select **Single Sign-On (SAML)** from the list.

## Configure application

1. Copy the **IdP Metadata URL** or **IdP Metadata XML** from the next screen. You'll need this value to configure your SAML connection.

2. You'll need to enter the **ACS URL** and **Entity ID**. You'll get these values from Aampe.

3. Make sure that **Service Provider Entity ID** matches the **SAML Audience (SP Entity ID)** value from Aampe.
4. From the **Settings** tab of custom app you just created. Go to **Advanced SAML Settings** section and check the box for **Disable InResponseTo field in assertions for IdP initiated SSO**.

   This is because Rippling sends dummy values for the InResponseTo field and Aampe will try to validate the InResponseTo field if it is present.

## Next steps

You've successfully configured your custom SAML application for Rippling SAML. At this stage, you can assign users to your application and start using it.
