Скачать или смотреть Single Sign-On for Acumatica Cloud ERP version 5.0

During this demo, I’m going to walk you through the new Single Sign-On Feature in the upcoming Acumatica 5 release.

To start off, I’m going to open my e-mail account. I’ll type my e-mail address, my password, and click sign. I’m then going to go to, Acumatica. Finally, I’m going to login to my favorite file sharing application, which also has its own username and password. Oops – it looks I forgot my password!

There has to be a better way to handle that, right? Enter single sign-on. Single Sign-On, or SSO in short is a user authentication process that allows employees to authenticate once, and gain access to multiple applications.

I’m going to login to Acumatica again, this time on a site that has been configured to use single sign-on. As you can see, I did not need to type a username or a password at all, since I had previously logged in to the Outlook Web App, which happens to be using Single Sign-On as well. This site was setup to use Windows Azure ActiveDirectory, but it’s also possible to setup SSO with Google apps as well.

If I change my password, I only need to do it once, and I will be able to securely login to all my applications using this new password.

If I get promoted, my new access permissions will be propagated to every application that I use.

You may be wondering how Acumatica knows which permissions to grant me. It does so based on the claims sent by the identity provider on login. In this case, the Administrator role in Acumatica was mapped to an Active Directory group. So, whenever I login, if I belong to this particular group, I will receive admin rights.

Finally, single sign-on also facilitates interaction between web applications. For example, you can embed Acumatica content inside SharePoint. Here’s a sample corporate intranet page, which shows CRM cases assigned to me. I can easily click on any case, and I will be taken to the actual case in Acumatica.
