So, let's give you a sense of what we are talking about here and then I can walk you through how I submitted an app to the OneLogin App Catalog marketplace.

First off, what is the OneLogin App Catalog marketplace.

What is OneLogin App Catalog marketplace?

OneLogin app marketplace

OneLogin app catalog marketplace is a list of pre-built applications prepared and ready to use for OneLogin customers, where admins can simply go add your company's app to OneLogin catalog.

That is, admins can go to Applications > Applications > Add App and search for your company's app.

  2. Add your app into OneLogin and test to make sure it is working properly.
  3. Submit your request via a OneLogin support ticket, and this will create a ticket automatically with OneLogin's team.

Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of the steps below:

Step 1 - Create an OneLogin Developer account (if you don't have one already)

You will need to have an OneLogin account, you will need to use only a developer account to be able to submit an app. So you can sign up for a free OneLogin developer test account.

 

Step 2 - Set up your app on OneLogin as usual

Set up your app in OneLogin as per usual using your OneLogin developer account. ​

I was setting up a SAML 2.0 SSO app. So I was following steps following OneLogin's guide here: "Add your app to OneLogin App Catalog marketplace".

Once you get it successfully up and running, then you can look to register your app.

Step 3 - Prepare to submit your app to the OneLogin App Catalog marketplace

Submit your app in the OneLogin App Catalog marketplace by p please submit a support ticket in the connector request category to the OneLogin  team. This connector will enable your app to display in OneLogin's App Catalog marketplace.

You’ll need to provide relevant details about your app:
