Ensure you allow your Cortex XSOAR 6 server IP address and your engines' IP addresses. For more information, see [Security Settings](/cortex-xsoar-8-saas/onboard-cortex-xsoar/post-deployment/configure-system-settings/configure-security-settings.md). SAML and SSO In Cortex XSOAR 6, to configure SAML 2.0, you need to create and enable a SAML 2.0 integration instance. In Cortex XSOAR 8, you no longer need to do this, as it is replaced by the SSO management configuration. See [Configure Single Sign-On Using SAML 2.0](/cortex-xsoar-8-saas/configure-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles-management/set-up-authentication/authenticate-users-using-sso.md). The SSO management configuration is not added to Cortex XSOAR 8. You need to reconfigure it during the UAT. SSO and authorization for communication tasks rely on the URL defined on the IDP, which points to the Cortex XSOAR 6 URL. You must configure the [SSO settings in Cortex XSOAR 8](/cortex-xsoar-8-saas/configure-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles-management/set-up-authentication/authenticate-users-using-sso.md). 1. Before changing your SSO configuration for Cortex XSOAR 8, confirm you have at least one active CSP user with the Instance Admin or Account Admin role, to prevent being locked out of Cortex XSOAR if there is an SSO configuration error. 2. To change your SSO configuration, go to Settings & Info → Settings → Access Management → **Authentication Settings**. 3. **Switch to XSOAR 8 Configurations** and follow the instructions to [Configure Single Sign-On Using SAML 2.0](/cortex-xsoar-8-saas/configure-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles-management/set-up-authentication/authenticate-users-using-sso.md). If you are using Okta or Azure AD as your IdP, follow the instructions specific to your IdP. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-migration-guide/cortex-xsoar-8-saas-migration/migrate-from-cortex-xsoar-6-to-cortex-xsoar-8-saas-using-the-pre-migration-and-migration-wizard/step-3.-run-user-acceptance-tests-uat-using-the-migration-wizard/security-and-authentication.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
