contentACCESS Portal Automated Single Sign-on

Introduction​

Automated single sign-on allows the contentACCESS Portal to sign in users automatically through a selected third-party login provider, without requiring any further interaction from the user. This page describes which login providers support automated sign-on, how to configure automatic login in Central Administration, and how users can change the signed-in account or log out.

Supported login providers​

Automated single sign-on can be enabled for the following login providers:

  • Microsoft 365
  • Google
  • Windows
  • Any other third-party authentication provider

Note: The Datengut and Forms providers cannot be automated.

To automate one of the supported login providers, select it in the Auto login column on the Login providers page (System tab → Security group → Login providers button in Central Administration).
