How to set up Single Sign-On (SSO)

Overview

Single Sign-On is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single set of credentials to any of several related yet independent software systems. It will enable the user to log in once and access services without re-entering authentication factors. This article will guide you through setting it up.

* Pixelz is able to integrate with any SSO as long as it is SAML 2.0 compatible.

* SSO is currently available for Enterprise subscribers.

In this article, we will walk you through 3 steps of activating SSO on your account. 

• Step 1 - Activate SSO on your account
• Step 2 - Configure your identity provider (IdP)
• Step 3 - Configure SSO settings for Pixelz

Step 1 - Activate SSO on your account

Please reach out to enterprise@pixelz.com, and we will help you activate the option in our system so you can proceed with the next steps.

Step 2 - Configure your identity provider (IdP)

Currently, we have documentation on these IDps:

• Microsoft Azure

To configure your IdP, you will need to copy some information from your Pixelz SSO settings.

From here, you will need to copy this information:

Step 3 - Configure SSO settings for Pixelz

To activate SSO on your domain, please go back to:

https://login.pixelz.com/Account?section=ssoSetting

Please fill in the missing information according to this:

(1) Domain*
This is the domain of your Organization. We use this for identity federation.

(2) Identifier (Entity ID)
The unique ID that identifies your application to Azure Active Directory. This value must be unique across all applications in your Azure Active Directory tenant.

(3) Reply URL
The reply URL is where the application expects to receive the authentication token. This is also referred to as the “Assertion Consumer Service” (ACS) in SAML.

(4) Tenant URL
This is the SCIM URL for provisioning users.

(5) Secret Token
The SCIM token authenticates Azure AD to dynamically provision users in command. It should be copied from the SSO setting.

(6) Metadata*
Upload Identity Provider metadata file or specify URL.

(7) User profile default
The user profile default will be used when creating new SSO users. You can select between Admin/Accountant/Art Director/DigiTech/Image Coordinator/Photographer/Recolor.

After implementing these three straightforward steps, you'll effortlessly configure Single Sign-On for your accounts.
