Setting up Emplifi SSO with Catalog Login Providers

In this article, you will learn how to set up Emplify SSO for Okta, Onelogin, and MS Azure. All three of these providers include Emplifi in their catalogs. 

If you would like to check our general guidelines on setting up the SSO through the Emplifi self-service, see Single Sign-on (SSO) Self Service Guide.

These guides describe the steps required to set up SSO details within third party products. Process and UI changes are subject to change and Emplifi therefore accepts no liability associated with them.

      https://<domain>.account.socialbakers.com
https://<domain>.account.emplifi.io

      • In the identifiers, replace <domain> with the domain that you have provided in the Emplifi SSO configuration as described in Single Sign-on (SSO) Self Service Guide.

      • Mark the Emplifi identifier as a default.

   2. In the Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) section, add the Emplifi and Socialbakers reply URLs exactly as they are provided in the Emplifi SSO configuration:
      https://<domain>.account.socialbakers.com/login/saml
https://<domain>.account.emplifi.io/login/saml

      • In the reply URLs, replace <domain> with the domain that you have provided in the Emplifi SSO configuration as described in Single Sign-on (SSO) Self Service Guide.

      • Mark the Emplifi reply URL as a default.

8. Click Save to save the SAML SSO configuration.

9. Scroll down to the SAML Signing Certificate section, and copy the app federation metadata URL.

10. Go back to the Emplifi Suite.

11. Click Settings -> Single sign-on, and open your SSO configuration with Azure.

12. Paste the app federation metadata URL into the Metadata URL field in the Emplifi SSO configuration.

13. Click Next to complete the SSO configuration in the Emplifi Suite. For a detailed description, see Single Sign-on (SSO) Self Service Guide.
