Setting up single sign on (SSO) for your educators and learners is often a vital step in setting up your portal. It's the most efficient way to ensure your users have the quickest access to your portal.

General

Appearance

After you have configured valid SSO option for your portal, your portal's login page will display an extra button which users can click to sign in with your provided SSO protocol.

Protocols

Current protocols supports for integration are:

User types

By default, any user who uses a SSO integration to sign up inside of a portal will automatically be provisioned a learner user account, meaning that they will be treated as a learner within the portal and have all the same user experience a normal learner would.

Some specific protocols do support provisioning educator accounts but require additional protocol specific configuration.

  1. Click "Settings" below the "Portal" group in the main navigation.

  2. Click on the "SSO" tab below the "Advanced" group of the available settings

  3. Select your protocol type and then fill in the provided fields as needed.
