How to configure SSO with One Login

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication process that allows a user to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials. SSO is a common procedure in enterprises, where a client accesses multiple resources connected to a local area network (LAN).

AlphaLearn supports SSO. To provide single sign-on services for your domain, AlphaLearn acts as a service provider (SP) through the SAML (Secure Assertion Markup Language) standard.

To get started, you need an OneLogin account to handle the sign-in process and provide your users credentials to AlphaLearn.

The information required by AlphaLearn is:

• A unique identifier for each user.
• The users first name and last name.
• The users email.
