Supported SSO Features

miniOrange SuccessFactors SAML integration supports the following features:

• SP Initiated SSO Login: Users can access their SuccessFactors account via a URL or bookmark. They will automatically be redirected to the miniOrange portal for login. Once they've signed on, they'll be automatically redirected and logged into SuccessFactors.
• IdP Initiated SSO Login: Users need to login to the miniOrange first , and then click on the SuccessFactors icon on the applications dashboard to access SuccessFactors.(If you have set up any more Identity Sources, you will log in to that platform).
• JIT Provisioning: Enables the automatic creation of user accounts in SuccessFactors when a person logs in for the first time via Desktop SSO, IDP, or Active Directory (AD) authentication.
• Single Logout: With this feature, you will be automatically logged out of all the applications that are connected with Identity provider (IdP) when you log out from SuccessFactors org or any other app.
• Mandate users to Login using SSO: Single Sign-on can make it mandatory for all users to log in using SSO. This will prevent any person from login using any other source and bypassing the login system. No person will be able to have direct login making it a streamline and secure process.
