   • IdP Username Parameter: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress
   • IdP Email Parameter: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress

6. In the FileCloud user portal login page, click on the more option and access SSO. This will first redirect you to the Auth0 login page where you can authenticate as the user that you have created in Auth0.
   If that user doesn't exist in FileCloud, it will be created automatically after successful authentication.
