Sign In Using GroupID

Let’s assume that we configured three service providers in GroupID. Users should be able to access these applications through GroupID.

For single sign-on using GroupID, we can choose any of the following ways:

  • SP-initiated single sign-on - when the SSO operation is initiated from the SP end, i.e., from any of the registered service providers.
  • IdP-initiated single sign-on - when the SSO operation is initiated from the IdP end, i.e., from GroupID.

IdP-Initiated Single Sign-On​

  1. In GroupID Authenticate, go to the SAML Applications tab and click New Application.
  2. On the Create Application page, click the Login URL displayed in the Metadata section.
    On clicking it, the user is redirected to the GroupID login page where GroupID is acting as an identity provider. If the user is already logged into GroupID, he/she will be auto-authenticated; else the user will have to provide the credentials.
