Vodia PBX now supports SAML integration, offering a secure and standards-based method for enterprise users to access their phone system through single sign-on. SAML, or Security Assertion Markup Language, allows employees to authenticate in one system and access other systems without managing multiple passwords, improving both security and user experience. By exchanging digitally signed SAML Assertions between Identity Providers and Service Providers, Vodia ensures seamless authentication across internal and external applications. With this integration, IT teams can simplify user management, reduce login complexity, and maintain strong security controls for business communications.
Managing enterprise telephony access shouldn’t mean juggling multiple passwords or risking security gaps. That’s why Vodia PBX now supports SAML integration, providing a secure, standards-based way to enable single sign-on for your phone system.
What Is SAML
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard developed for cross-domain single sign-on (SSO). SAML enables users to authenticate in a system and access another system with proof of authentication.
SAML - an Overview
SAML has been in use for about two decades and is a popular choice in B2B and B2E applications for identity federation - it makes seamless SSO between businesses and enterprises possible.
The SAML 2.0 protocol is largely used for enterprise and government applications. It uses extensible markup language (XML) for user identity data and, for transport mechanisms, simple HTTP. Auth0 is one of the identity management partners that works with SAML.
How SAML Works
Identity Providers (IdP), which manage and store user credentials (such as Auth0), exchange digitally signed XML documents (SAML Assertions) so end users can access a ‘Service Provider’ (SP), including the apps they use at work or on websites.
The IdP receives requests and data from the service known as the Relying Party (RP); the identity data for the user, which is encapsulated in the SAML Assertion, is an attribute, such as email address, name, phone number, etc. - the SP or the IdP can initiate the authentication workflow.
Authentication initiated by IdP might happen if a staff member is logged into his or her company dashboard and needs to use a tool purchased by the company on an external website. In a scenario such as this, the IdP delivers an SAML Assertion via the web browser to log the user in automatically.
SIP Authentication
When an employee attempts to log into an external site, the SP, the login triggers SIP-initiated authentication, and the employee is redirected to the company’s SSO login page, where he or she enters credentials and authenticates. Following authentication, an SAML Assertion proving the employee’s identity redirects the employee back to the external website.

V70 introduces emergency alerts and notifications designed to ensure critical events are not missed and responses happen immediately. Alerts can be triggered directly by users, delivered across multiple channels including phones, email, mobile apps, and SMS, and can automatically initiate calls to predefined numbers. Administrators have full control over how alerts are configured, enabling consistent, reliable handling of incidents across real-world, multi-tenant environments.
Vodia V70 integrates WhatsApp Business calling and messaging directly into the PBX, allowing businesses to manage voice and customer conversations from a single platform. With native SIP integration, WhatsApp calls are routed to extensions, queues, or IVRs without middleware, reducing complexity and eliminating the need for additional gateways. Combined with support for messaging, dashboards, alerts, and AI voice agents, V70 brings greater control, scalability, and flexibility to real-world communication environments.
Vodia PBX V70 introduces a redesigned admin interface, multi-core scalability supporting more than a thousand concurrent calls per server, and integrated AI voice agents for both inbound and outbound communication. Reusable AI templates make automation easier to deploy, while snapshots and centralized provisioning reduce operational risk. With custom dashboards, emergency alerts, and WhatsApp Business integration, V70 provides greater control and flexibility for real-world deployments.
