Single Sign On
Overview
Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that allows you to sign in to multiple independent software systems using only one set of credentials. With SSO, you can access all needed applications without being required to authenticate using different credentials. There is no need to sign in every time. You only sign in once.
Pre-requisites
You will need to:
- Have an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider
- Provide a Client ID and a Secret ID (this allows Retain to use your application and authenticate credentials)
- Notify Retain about the Secret ID expiry date and provide a new Secret ID when necessary
Visit our Support Portal and raise a case to request SSO.
Log out
- Select Log out from the navigation menu on the left
- You will be logged out
Logging out completely from the SSO provider website will sign you out of all your company apps
