Hi friends – When using SAML SSO for add-in authentication, which method should we choose? SAML or Saved Token? Does it make a difference?

  Hi Sara, thanks for posting! Saved Tokens should be used.

  We are actually going to retire the other three options so Saved Tokens will be the standard. The only current issue (which is fixed in the 24.1 release), is when a customer already has SAML or Windows Auth selected and then they change it to Saved Tokens. This was an issue decrypting the token from the registry. 

  So for new setups and once 24.1 is released, we should always used Saved Token.
