Boxyhq

The API covers SAML connection management (configuring per-customer SSO), user provisioning events (SCIM directory sync), and audit log retrieval. Agents can programmatically configure SAML connections for new enterprise customers, receive SCIM provisioning events to automate user lifecycle management, and retrieve audit logs for compliance reporting. The REST API enables these enterprise auth workflows without direct SAML XML parsing.

Reliability for self-hosted BoxyHQ is the team's operational responsibility. SAML SSO is a critical authentication path — BoxyHQ downtime blocks enterprise customer logins. Teams deploying BoxyHQ for production enterprise authentication must implement appropriate high-availability configuration and monitoring.

BoxyHQ is an open-source enterprise readiness toolkit that handles the authentication infrastructure enterprise customers require — SAML SSO, SCIM directory sync, and audit logging — without teams building these complex protocols from scratch. Enterprise sales frequently stall on SAML and SCIM requirements; BoxyHQ's Jackson (SAML SSO) and Directory Sync (SCIM) services provide these capabilities as deployable services with REST APIs. For agents managing enterprise customer onboarding, BoxyHQ reduces the auth integration work that blocks enterprise deals.

Authentication to BoxyHQ services uses API keys for management operations. Self-hosted BoxyHQ deployments require appropriate secret management for the SAML certificate infrastructure. Teams deploying BoxyHQ for production enterprise SSO should ensure the SAML certificate rotation process is documented and operationally maintained.

Documentation covers the SAML and SCIM integration patterns clearly. The enterprise SSO setup guide — explaining the metadata exchange and connection configuration workflow — is practical for teams implementing their first enterprise SSO integration. Teams evaluating BoxyHQ versus WorkOS for enterprise auth should compare the self-hosted open-source model against WorkOS's managed service pricing.
