## What type of certificate can I use for configuring the SAML Certificate for single sign-on?
52+
53+
The recommendation for the SAML single sign-on certificate depends on your organization's security requirements and policies.
54+
If your organization has an internal certificate authority (PKI), using a certificate from the internal PKI can provide a higher level of security and trust. This is because the internal PKI is under the control of your organization and can be managed and monitored to ensure the security of the certificate.
55+
56+
On the other hand, if your organization doesn't have an internal certificate authority, using a certificate from an external certificate authority such as DigiCert can provide a higher level of trust and security. This is because external certificate authorities are trusted by many organizations and are subject to strict security and validation requirements.
