<aside> 💡 Single Sign-On (SSO), also known as "single authentication", is a procedure for accessing multiple applications that are associated with each other independently. By using SSO, students and teachers can connect to Wooclap with the login details they already have within their institution and therefore do not need to create an account.

Required information

To set up the SSO connection, we need the following pieces of information:

• Is the institution a member of eduGAIN?
• (IF NOT) The type and version of the authentication system (e.g. CAS 3.0) and the login URL.
• A test account (with a value for each attribute below) to check that the SSO works correctly on our side.
• The authentication system should return the following attributes :
  • unique id (required): this id will be used to identify the user. This can be a string, a number, or something else as long as it is unique.
  • display name / last name / first name (optional) : those attributes are used for display purposes.
  • email address (optional): the email address is used for some asynchronous operations such as sending Excel exports, reports,...
• What name do you want to put for the login button on this page?
• What are the email domains / sub-domains associated with your institution that we need to register for the SSO connection (eg: @students.xxx.com)?
• If you have documentation regarding the integration with your authentication system, that would also be useful.
