In release 5.10.0 we have introduced a new feature (EP-3835) :-

The login page has been updated show an additional step when logging in with SSO.

When logging into epaPRO using SSO, if multiple epaPRO users are found, an intermediary screen is offered so that the user can select the epaPRO account that they wish to login as. If an epaPRO user is found to be linked to an SSO account, that user is automatically logged into epaPRO as normal.

...

What is SSO?

Single sign-on (SSO) within a company refers to the ability for employees to log in once with one set of credentials to allow them access to all applications, websites, and data for which they have permission.

SSO also solves a key problem for businesses by providing greater security and compliance.

Note

Please note there are limitations with SSO and one reason we do not recommend multiple user accounts e.g. if you login as an EPAM and a QA user.

SSO is token linked to a login and therefore is a 1-to-1 relationship.

Info

In order for this to be an option in epaPRO, it must first be enabled for your company via a support request ticket. Once this feature is enabled then it can be set up for the individual users.

...

There are two options that can be utilised -

  • Login with Google

...

  • Login with Microsoft.

Depending on which account your company has setup, will determine which of these needs to be enabled.

...

  1. In order to enable this option for a user, the following slider(s) need to be on for each user. You can enable just one slider or both, depending on what you are using; Google or Microsoft. Make sure to save the user at the end.

7. If you opt to login using the “Sign in with Microsoft” button it will sign you directly in with your Office365/Azure directory credentials.

Note:- the user will still have the option to login with the original Username and password they had been using to sign in to epaPRO assuming that this is not later toggled off by the EPAO.

Note

Please note that due to restrictions on when the verification process with Google can begin, users may receive a warning when linking their account and the functionality may not work for some users. We’re working on resolving this with Google and getting the integration verified as soon as possible.
