Configure BroadSoft Single Sign-On SSO

---

Configure BroadSoft SSO in a few simple steps using this setup guide. miniOrange Single Sign-On (SSO) helps you to log in to BroadSoft and other applications using a single set of credentials. Upon enabling SSO for BroadSoft, a person can securely access BroadSoft in one click without having to enter their username and password again.

With miniOrange BroadSoft SSO, you can:

• Enable your users to automatically login to BroadSoft
• Have centralized and easy access control of the users
• Connect easily with any external identity source like Azure AD, ADFS, Cognito, etc

miniOrange BroadSoft Single Sign-On (SSO) supports the following features:

• SP (Service Provider) Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO):
  In this flow, a person tries to login to the service provider (BroadSoft account) directly. The request is redirected to the identity provider for authentication. On successfull authentication from the identity provider, the person is given access to the application (BroadSoft account).
• IdP (Identity Provider) Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO):
  In this flow, a person logs in to the identity provider using his credentials. Now the person can access any of the configured service providers (BroadSoft account, etc.) through the identity provider dashboard without having to enter the credentials again.
• Just In Time Provisioning:
  This will automate user account creation and pass information in your applications through identity provider. So, when a new user tries to log in to an authorized app for the first time, they trigger the flow of information from the identity provider to the app that's needed to create their account.
