Integrating single sign-on


This section describes how to integrate Brightspot with single sign-on servers.

As a best practice, ensure users have email addresses as their usernames. You can then configure different authenticators for different email domains. For example, logins from users with an email address in the brightspot.com domain are routed to the Google Cloud Service authenticator, and logins from users with an email address in any domain outside of brightspot.com are routed to an Okta authenticator.

To integrate single sign-on:

  1. Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings > Sites > Global.
  2. Click search, located to the left of more_horiz, and type Authenticators.
  3. Under Authenticators, do the following:
    1. Click add_circle_outline and select one of the available SAML authenticators.
    2. Using the tables in the following sections as a reference, update the fields as needed.
  4. Click Save.
