Implementing single sign-on in Assets Server

Single sign-on is a process in which users log in once to an authentication provider that manages their user credentials.

Once logged in to that authentication provider, each subsequent log-in to an application that is connected to that provider is automatically handled by that system. This drastically reduces the number of times that users have to manually log in on a daily basis.

Implementing single sign-on in Assets Server can be beneficial for users who access Assets Server through various applications: Assets, the Brand portal, the Management Console, or Assets for InDesign. Using SSO, they only have to log in once.

Implementing SSO

Single sign-on can be implemented in Assets Server by using one the following authentication providers:

• Okta. See Implementing single sign-on in Assets Server using Okta.
• Amazon Cognito. See:
• Implementing single sign-on in Assets Server using Amazon Cognito
• Implementing single sign-on in Assets Server using Amazon Cognito with an external SAML identity provider
• AD FS. See Implementing single sign-on in Assets Server using AD FS. (Cannot be used when running Assets Server on our WoodWing Cloud platform.)
