Single Sign On (SSO) allows users to access Bongo Direct without needing to create an account or remember a password. Instead, users will access Bongo using a unique domain for your organization, which will either automatically log them in, or direct them to log in to your system if they are not currently authenticated in your system.
Bongo supports SSO using SAML 2.0 and will use a custom subdomain of bongolearn.io
The following process will be followed in order to set up SSO with your organization:
Configuration Process:
| Step 1 - Technical Meeting | Bongo will meet with your technical team to discuss the SSO configuration. During this meeting, the Bongo custom domain values will be agreed upon, and Bongo will provide the key pieces of information needed to configure your SAML application |
| Step 2 - Staging Deployment | Once your team has created a SAML application for Bongo, we can deploy your custom domain and SSO integration in a staging environment. |
| Step 3 - Production Deployment | The process to deploy to production is the same as the staging deployment but you will need to provide the production metadata URL or XML document instead. The SAML attributes should be the same in staging and production. |
