How to Set up SSO

Aim of this article

This article shows how to configure PlatformManager for single sign-on (SSO) used at a specific account. 

The setup consists of these parts:

  1. Configure Service Provider (= PlatformManager)

    • Note that you cannot do the configuration at the Pricefx side in one go; you will need inputs from the IdP configuration to finish it.

  2. Configure Identity Provider (used at the customer's side, so this setup should done by the customer)

  3. Have the customer configure the IdP they use. An outcome of this process are URLs which need to be entered in PlatformManager.

  4. Back in PlatformManager, fill in the single sign-on form, namely these options:

    • Account Certificate

    • SAML Identity Provider URL

    • Email Domain

  5. Click Save. 

Note: When logging in to PlatformManager, users still enter their email address to proceed with the first step of the login. In the second step, after a successful email domain check, they are verified by IdP (by their SSO username or email address, depending on the setup in IdP).
