Single sign-on authentication

Single sign-on (SSO) authentication methods are different from other methods because the authentication of the user happens external to platform gateway, such as Google SSO, Microsoft Azure SSO, SAML, or GitHub.

You can configure SSO authentication through platform gateway to integrate with a central identity provider in your organization. Once you have configured an SSO method, an option for that SSO is available on the login screen. If you select that option, the platform redirects you to the identity provider, for example GitHub, where you present your credentials. If the identity provider verifies you successfully, platform gateway creates a user linked to your GitHub user (if this is your first time logging in with this SSO method) and logs you in.
