Single Sign-On (SSO)

What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an identity management solution that allows users to log in to multiple applications using a single set of credentials. It simplifies user authentication by enabling seamless access to apps and services through a consistent identity provider (IdP).

With SSO, administrators can configure their own internal credentials for app users and sub-administrators. For CodeREADr:

  • App users: Use SSO credentials to log into the CodeREADr mobile app.
  • Sub-administrators: Use SSO credentials to access the CodeREADr web service.

How to Set Up SSO with CodeREADr

Single Sign On Example

Follow these steps to enable and configure SSO for your CodeREADr account:

Step 1: Request SSO Access

  1. Email CodeREADr at support@codereadr.com to request access to the SSO utility.
  2. Once approved, the SSO feature will be enabled for your account.

Step 2: Navigate to the SSO Integration Page

  1. Log in to your CodeREADr account.
  2. Access the SSO Integration page to retrieve your account-specific details:
    • Account ID: A unique identifier required to configure your SSO provider.
    • ACS URL and Audience URI: These are essential for your identity provider setup.

Example:

  • ${org.accountId}
  • ACS URL: https://secure.codereadr.com/saml/${org.accountId}/assert
  • Audience URI: https://secure.codereadr.com/saml/${org.accountId}/metadata.xml

Step 3: Configure Your Identity Provider (IdP)

Using an identity provider like Okta, perform the following:

  1. Add the ACS URL and Audience URI obtained from the CodeREADr SSO Integration page.
  2. Configure your identity provider with the necessary settings.

Step 4: Enter IdP Details into CodeREADr

After configuring your IdP, retrieve the following:

  • Identity Provider Login URL
  • Identity Provider Signing Certificate

Enter these details on the CodeREADr SSO Integration page.

Step 5: Test and Save Your Configuration

  1. Save the settings in CodeREADr.
  2. Test the SSO functionality:
    • For mobile app users: Use the SSO link on the app’s Sign In page.
    • For sub-administrators: Use the SSO link on the website’s Sign In page or navigate to: https://secure.codereadr.com/signin-company/. Enter your
    • organization name and company ID to log in.
