What is SSO

Sign Sign-On allows a user to enter the Globality platform once they have authenticated against their own company’s Identity Provider (IdP) system.  There are two ways users would access the platform.

• Option #1 - user logs into their IdP and then clicks on the Globality app within the list of available applications.
• Option #2 - user goes to the Globality platform, enters their email address, and click on “Continue”. They then authenticate against their company’s IdP.  Once authenticated, the user will be automatically redirected back to the Globality Platform

What is the process to implement SSO

Client informs Globality that they are interested in implementing SSO

Step 1 - Globality creates a SSO connection

Step 2 - Globality sends client

• form for client to fill out

• certificate of SSO connection

• technical info client will need when creating their SSO certificate

Step 3 - Client sends Globality

• filled out form

• SSO certificate from client’s systems

Step 4 - Globality updates client’s SSO connection with information provided by the client 

Step 5 - Globality informs the client that SSO is setup and ready for testing

Step 6 - Client tests and confirms SSO is working

Client testing should be done either during a scheduled meeting between the client and Globality or via email communication.  The important thing to note is that uploading of the certificates on the client side and the Globality side need to done at the same time.  If the uploading of the certificates is not coordinated, end users trying to log into the platform will encounter an error message.
