Manage a SSO connection with Infomaniak
This guide explains what a Single Sign-On (SSO) connection is, a mechanism that allows users to log in to multiple applications with a single set of credentials.
The "Log in with SSO" button is for users whose companies have enabled this feature. If you don't know what SSO is and/or if you are already a private Infomaniak customer, log in as usual via the blue button.
Preamble
- Infomaniak offers businesses/advanced users a connection on the page login.infomaniak.com via SSO, a connection system including Active Directory (AD) and OpenID Connect (OIDC) for Infomaniak users:
- Active Directory (AD): Microsoft directory service, often used to manage identities and access within an organization.
- OpenID Connect (OIDC): Authentication protocol based on OAuth 2.0, allowing standardized SSO connection via access tokens (token).
- For the moment, only Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is compatible, this is not the case for a local AD or other Identity Providers similar to Entra.
Connecting to Infomaniak services via SSO
Infomaniak has recently introduced the possibility for its users to connect to its services via SSO. This means that in addition to its classic login system with username and password, you can now log in using your company or organization's credentials. This new feature is specifically designed to improve your experience and enhance security.
The "Log in with SSO" button is intended for users whose companies have enabled this feature:
- No need to remember an additional password for Infomaniak services: once authenticated with your professional credentials, you access your Infomaniak services directly.
- Your organization already applies security policies to your accounts (complex passwords, multi-factor authentication, etc.): by using SSO, these protections automatically extend to your access at Infomaniak.
- Do you change your password or account? These changes are made solely through your internal system, and they apply immediately to your connection at Infomaniak.
Talk to your system administrator or IT manager to find out if you can activate this option at Infomaniak. If your organization uses a centralized authentication system like AD or OIDC, SSO allows you to save time and simplify the management of your accesses. Infomaniak will provide the necessary information to connect its platform to your identity system.
