Overview of SSO
You can make it easier for your learners to access their study by configuring Single Sign On (SSO) through an Identity Provider (IdP) and connecting iQualify to your customer, learner and staff directories.
For example, if your organisation uses Office 365, people can login via Office 365, removing the need for them to have a separate iQualify login.
Tip: If you're looking for help logging in via SSO, please see Using SSO to sign in to iQualify.
How SSO improves security
Your organisation may have enabled SSO to improve their cyber security - the fewer times you have to log in, the less chance there is of having your password hacked. Having SSO also reduces the need for password assistance due to password fatigue, and can improve your learning experience by reducing the amount of time you spend logging into your learning environment.
What SSO allows
When you integrate SSO for iQualify with an IdP, you can:
Manage who has access to iQualify through the IdP.
Allow your learners to sign in automatically to iQualify through SSO with their accounts through the IdP.
Manage your accounts in one central location.
How to enable SSO
Get in touch with us before you begin and we can enable SSO for your environment (you must be an account owner).
Then, follow the instructions under SSO Configurations for your particular IdP.
Note: You will need a relevant subscription with the IdP that you’re using, i.e. Azure AD, OneLogin or Salesforce.
Optional local login
The local login link can be hidden from view, so when learners arrive at your login page, they will only see the SSO login that they require. This can be helpful if you learners are getting confused about where to login.
Note: All non-learners will also no longer be able to see the local login link, so it’s important that they save a direct URL to be able to log in. e.g https://myorganisation.iqualify.com/login?sso=off
Our support team can set this for you and also work with you to set up a test iQualify environment and help ensure everything is configured correctly before you implement SSO in your main iQualify environment.
