===IdP-initiated login===
 
−
Genesys Engage cloud supports IdP-initiated login using the SAML Single Sign-on integration. With this type of login, you can set up your own portal with links to Genesys Engage cloud applications. When a user is logged in to your IdP, they can click a link in the portal and directly log in to the Genesys application.
 
−
 
−
Set up this functionality in your IdP by providing the URL of the target application as part of the redirect URL. For example, the redirect URL for Agent Desktop would be in this format: <code>redirectUrl=https://<domain>/ui/wwe/index.html</code>

This topic is part of the manual Cloud Basics for Administrators for version Current of Administrator.

Learn how single sign-on is supported in Genesys Engage cloud.

Most Genesys Engage cloud applications allow a logged-in user to navigate across those applications without prompting for credentials again. It can also be configured to use SAML 2.0 for integrations with third-party identity providers such as Okta or Google. There are many advantages to enabling single sign-on (SSO) in Genesys Engage cloud—for example:

  • Users need to remember only one password.
  • User credentials are managed by a third-party identity provider.
  • Users must have multi-factor authentication by a third-party identity provider for additional security.
  • Users only need to log in once to gain access to Genesys Engage cloud applications that have SSO enabled and non-Genesys applications that use the same identity provider.

Configuring SSO in Genesys Engage

To enable Single Sign-On for your environments, see Single Sign-On in Agent Setup.

Important
SSO can be configured for different groups and you can have multiple identity providers, as long as there is only one per region.

If you're planning to enable SSO, consider the following conventions for creating users:

  • The domain declared in the identity provider metadata should be part of the user name stored within Genesys, to create the most seamless experience. (Example: john@mycompany.com) Otherwise, users would need to enter a Tenant or enter the domain before their username. (Example: mycompany\john)
  • The username provisioned within Genesys Engage cloud should match the username in the external identity provider.

Configuring SSO in the identity provider

Genesys Engage cloud must be defined as an application within the identity provider to support the SSO integration.

Genesys Engage cloud supports the SAML 2.0 protocol as a standard interface to identity providers, and has successfully validated with popular IdPs, including Okta and Ping. Other identity providers can be supported provided they comply with SAML 2.0 and you validate the integration before using in production.

How does SSO work for users?

Let's look at the login process for Agent Desktop with SSO enabled and Okta configured as the third-party identity provider. Note: The login flow is the same for all supported identity providers.

First, click the Agent Desktop icon in Genesys Portal and enter your username. You must log in to the application even though you're already logged in to your workstation.

Click Next. Genesys redirects you to Okta where you're prompted to enter your username and password. Once you log in with Okta, you're redirected back to Agent Desktop and automatically logged in. Alternatively, if you are already logged in with Okta when you click Next, Genesys skips the Okta login and automatically logs you in to Agent Desktop.

Now that you're authenticated with the identity provider, you can choose any SSO-enabled application from Genesys Portal and you'll be automatically logged in without entering your credentials.

If you happen to close all browser tabs without logging out of the applications, you will remain logged in for five minutes. If a second window or browser is opened after five minutes, to either the same application or any other SSO-enabled application, you will once again be prompted for your credentials.
