Singe Sign-On (SSO)

With single sign-on your users are able to log in to Smart Connect with their Microsoft account, instead of username and password.

As a precondition a valid SSO license on company level is needed. With this license, the customer administrator can setup one or more single sign-on integrations.

Smart Connect supports Microsoft single sign-on. For such an integration the tenant ID needs to be provided at integration setup. The user will be redirected to a Microsoft login page where he needs to login with an admin account. After this, Telia’s SSO application needs to be approved with the stated permission(s). An admin grant for the API permissions might be needed in case that the approval is not enough.

For a single user to enable single sign-on a login with username/password and 2-factor authentication is needed. The user is then prompted to enable single sign-on or not. After a valid login with a Microsoft user belonging to the tenant that was setup with the integration, the Microsoft user is connected to the Smart Connect user and can be used in the future without the need for Smart Connect specific username and password.

The connection between the Smart Connect user and a Microsoft user can be disabled in the user’s profile or by an administrator, if needed.

If the administrator in your company has activated single sign-on, you will be asked upon log-in if you want to activate it. Follow the steps below to activate.

If you want to deactivate single sign-on, you are able to do this in in My Profile in the Settings tab.
