# SAML SSO for Docker

To enable security for the Docker deployment, follow the next steps:

## 1. Create an .env file

Create an `openmetadata_saml.env` file and add the following contents as an example. Use the information
generated when setting up the account.

The configuration below already uses the presets shown in the example of SAML configurations, you can change to yours.

{% note %}

If you are using an environment variable from an external file in our setup, and this environment variable is commented out in the `docker-compose` file, it will not be considered. To ensure it works, the commented section in the docker-compose file must be uncommented.
