Twig Science supports SAML 2.0 as a single sign on (SSO) option for school districts. SAML 2.0 can simplify the login experience for your district, as your users can use their existing credentials to log in to our platform.
In this article we will cover:
- SAML SSO overview
- Navigating to SAML SSO configuration
- How do I configure SAML SSO?
- How do I download the Twig Science SAML metadata file?
SAML SSO overview
Twig Science provides a standard’s based SAML implementation to connect to your Identity Provider (IdP). We provide a simple self-service configuration page to integrate the Twig Science platform as a Service Provider (SP) to the IdP of your district. This page also provides all of Twig Science’s metadata for configuration of the IdP.
Note
Note: It is expected that you will choose a single SSO option. If you have planned migration from another SSO option to SAML SSO, please contact your sales representative to discuss.
Navigating to SAML SSO configuration
- Log in as a District Admin user
- Select Manage
- Select SAML Configuration.
