Summary
PathFactory provides Single Sign On support using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML version 2.0). SAML is a standard protocol that gives third party Identity Providers (IdP) a secure way to let a service provider (SP) such as PathFactory authenticate users through a single login credential.
Note
|
Single Sign On currently supports G Suite, OneLogin, and Okta as Identity Providers. We also provide the option of a generic SAML 2.0 configuration for clients using other standard SAML 2.O Identity Providers. To configure Single Sign On in your organization, please contact your CSM or support@pathfactory.com to provide access to this feature. |
Benefits of SSO
Corporate Security
SSO allows you to centralize control over provisioning with fewer points for identities to be breached, and enforce corporate standards like multi-factor authentication.
User Experience
SSO helps relieve the need for users to manage multiple accounts and passwords.
