SSO Authentication (SaaS)

What is SSO?

Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication is a centralized login process that allows users to access multiple applications or systems with one set of credentials (such as a single username and password). Once logged in through an SSO provider, users can move between authorized applications without needing to reauthenticate for each one. This approach enhances security by reducing password fatigue, simplifies user management, and streamlines access across systems.

SSO is commonly integrated with identity providers (IdPs) like Google, Microsoft, or Okta and is often used in enterprise environments to improve both security and user convenience.

This article describes the OL-Hub SaaS edition SSO authentication.

SSO Setup by OL-Hub Support

The Account was created and there is an Account Admin who can sign in with a user/password

After enabling SSO, authentication using username & password will be disabled for all the account (tenant) users.

SSO Setup in the Identity Provider App

The identity provider (e.g. Azure AD) admin, configures the app as SAML-based SSO

The OpenLegacy support team will provide you:

Entity ID
Reply (Assertion Consumer Service) URL

IdP Admin Shares login details with the OL-Hub Support team

The IdP admin shares the Login URL and certificate in base64 with the OL-Hub support team

Then you can add the OL-Hub users and groups (emails) to the IdP (SAML) app

The OL-Hub support team will complete the setup with the login details and provide you with an SSO login link
