## Preparation
The following placeholders will be used:
- `rancher.company` is the FQDN of the Rancher install.
- `authentik.company` is the FQDN of the authentik install.
Create an application in authentik and note the slug, as this will be used later. Create a SAML provider with the following parameters:
- ACS URL: `https://rancher.company/v1-saml/adfs/saml/acs`
- Audience: `https://rancher.company/v1-saml/adfs/saml/metadata`
- Issuer: `authentik`
You can of course use a custom signing certificate, and adjust durations.
