Users must use Splunk Secure Gateway to securely connect to a Splunk platform instance and use the Connected Experiences apps. There are multiple ways your users can log in:

Log in method	Description
Authentication Code	Users enter the authentication code in the mobile app into the Register tab in Splunk Cloud Gateway.
Mobile Device Management (MDM)	Use an MDM provider to securely allow users to log into a Splunk platform instance from the mobile app itself. See About MDM and in-app log in to learn more.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication	Use a supported identity provider (IdP) to enable SAML authentication for user login. See How devices authenticate to your Splunk platform with SAML authentication to learn more about how to set up SAML authentication.
MDM with SAML authentication	You can use an MDM provider with an IdP. See Set up SAML authentication for Splunk Secure Gateway for more information about using MDM with SAML authentication.
