# Query SAML Authentication Settings

You can query the authentication configuration endpoint for information about an org's or Experience Cloud site's SAML single sign-on (SSO) and authentication provider settings. Use this functionality when you’re developing apps that need this information on demand.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>All</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

Only Experience Cloud sites or Salesforce orgs can access the authentication configuration endpoint. You don't need a session to access the authentication configuration endpoint.

In response to a request to the authentication configuration endpoint, Salesforce returns basic information in JSON format. This information includes authentication and registration settings, branding assets, and other values related to SSO support for users of Experience Cloud sites or Salesforce orgs.

The format of the authentication configuration endpoint is: https://<site or custom URL>/.well-known/auth-configuration. For example, https://MyDomainName.my.site.com/.well-known/auth-configuration.

## Authentication Configuration Endpoint Response

The authentication configuration endpoint returns the information in JSON format only.

Here’s a sample response.
