Single sign-on, often abbreviated as SSO, is an authentication method that allows users to safely log into various applications using a set of unique login credentials. There is 1 piece of information needed in order for a user to successfully sign in through SSO in Via:
- Email address – this indicator is used to create the account in Via
For non-tech folks, you can think of SSO as a two-door entryway with a waiting room in between:
- User inputs their unique login credentials on their organization’s Via sign in page
- The organization lets the user pass through the first door
- The user waits to be authenticated by Via in the waiting room
- Via asks the organization, “what’s the user’s email, unique identifier & role?”
- The organization passes that information back to Via
- The user is let out of the waiting room and through the second door into their Via account
This process occurs for all users, admins & travelers, regardless of whether they previously had a Via account.
