Creating and viewing SSO authentications

Note: Only Admin users can add and assign new users with a (Single Sign-On) SSO login.

The enabling and disabling of Single Sign-On (SSO) can be managed by Support just like any new feature, as SSO needs to be enabled per customer. The User Setup dialogue box allows you to enable Microsoft Single Sign-On login for ControliQ users. Once enabled, users are able to access ControliQ by signing on via an SSO provider (e.g. Microsoft).

To enable SSO for a user account:

1. Select Admin. In the Add/ View section, select Users.
2. Click the Add New button (to create a new user account) or click edit () on the right-hand side of a name in the table (to edit an existing user account).
3. Select the User needs to log in? checkbox.
4. From the Authentication Type dropdown, select SSO.
5. The user's SSO username needs to match the username that is being used in ControliQ, for authentication to work. Check whether the username associated with the account matches that user's username for the SSO provider and update it if necessary.
6. Fill in the other fields for the user as necessary.

 

Now that you have allocated user accounts to use Microsoft SSO within ControliQ, you need to check that the user can log in to their SSO provider and access ControliQ. To do this, they need to:

1. Log in to the SSO provider using their personal SSO credentials.
2. Click ControliQ (it will be in Microsoft's SSO list of applications).
3. The user should now be able to log in to ControliQ.
