Single Sign-On (SSO) is an account security feature that grants users access to applications. Referrers can go to the white-labeled login page and use the Single Sign On feature to login. To use single sign on, the Referrer must set up a domain with a provider. Identity Provider examples: OneLogin, Google, Microsoft and more.

Single Sign-On utilizes SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) or OpenID Connect protocols to authenticate a user and provide identity data for platform access control. This process allows authentication to be deferred to the IdP (Identity Provider).

See the expandable content below for a brief comparison of authentication protocols:
