Federated sign-in simplifies the login process and is often implemented as Single Sign-On (SSO). It allows you to use existing credentials from your identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID, Google Identity, or Okta, eliminating the need to remember additional usernames and passwords.
Enabling federated sign-in requires some configuration in Organisation settings by an admin user. Learn more about setting up federations.
Logging in for the first time with Identity
If you're logging in to an OneAdvanced application for the first time, or if your account has been migrated to use Identity, you will get these steps on your first login.
Selecting an organisation
When first logging on, you will be asked to enter your email address or username.
If you have access to more than one organisation, you will see this screen to select an organisation. If you only have one organisation, you will not see this screen and will be passed straight to the next screen.
On the next screen, you will then see the option for federated identity service, such as Azure AD (this name can be edited by the system administrator), at the top if this is set up for your organisation. Click on the top button.
If federation is configured as 'Always Use', then user won't see the above screen
Logging in with your usual details
You can now login using your usual details that you use for your organisation's software. This screen would typically have your organisation's branding. It could look similar to this:After you logged in successfully through federation, you will be logged into your OneAdvanced Identity account and redirected to your application.
Subsequent logins
When you login in the future, the steps will depend on how your organisation has set up the identity provider you use. You may be logged in straight away without having to enter any details if a short period of time has passed since you last logged in.
Typically you may have to complete two steps:
Enter your email address.
Enter your usual login details.
That's it! If you're unsure of anything or have any problems logging in, you can check our FAQs or contact your system administrator for help.
