    Single Sign-On (SSO)

    Our SSO feature enables you to securely access your account with a single click by taking advantage of third-party identity providers like Okta and Azure AD that support the OpenID Connect protocol (OIDC). OIDC is an identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0 that helps authenticate and authorize users. It does this by allowing client applications to confirm an end user’s identity using authentication by an authorization server.

    Getting Started with
    Single Sign-on

    Setting up SSO on DNSFilter is Straightforward

    Account owners can simply enter their OAuth 2.0 credentials from an IdP in the SINGLE SIGN-ON section of the SETTINGS page of their DNSFilter account. Once the values have been entered correctly, SSO can be turned on.

     

    Social Sign-on

    In addition to Single Sign-On, we also have a Social Sign-On capability for easy account setup. If you're looking to add Social Sign-On to an existing DNSFilter instance, our Social sign on feature can be managed from the app. You'll have the ability to only allow approved emails to have the ability to login with their Gmail account—meaning you can restrict access to corporate Google accounts.

    HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH SSO ON DNSFILTER?

    WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOCIAL SIGN-ON AND SINGLE SIGN-ON?

    Single Sign-On is a security measure to authenticate user access before logging in. By using a tool such as Okta or OneLogin, you can manage multiple application logins (like DNSFilter, Devo, and 1Password) from a single place. Social Sign-On is a type of authentication method under the SSO umbrella.
