Note:

The System admin for OneLogin, as well as Salesforce, will need to configure the SSO.

If you have not yet done so, create a Salesforce service account when connecting your OneLogin SSO on the Salesforce side. This article will explain more about what a service account is and why it's important to create one, but essentially, a service account is not tied to one single user's email address. So if the admin/user leaves the company, the service account will still be up and running.

 

Set Up OneLogin

  1. Log in to OneLogin as the Administrator. From the home page, click Administration.

Create a Bookmark app

By default, once your Simpplr and OneLogin are integrated, you'll be taken to Salesforce when logging in from the OneLogin portal. To ensure you get taken to the Simpplr app instead of Salesforce, you'll need to create a bookmark app in OneLogin. To do so:

  1. Login to OneLogin.
  2. From the Administrator portal, go to Applications > Applications.
  3. Click Add App on the right-hand side of the page.

  6. Make sure the application is selected as Visible in Portal. Click Save.
  7. From the left-hand navigation menu, click Configuration. Add your Simpplr home dashboard URL to the Website Address field. Click Save.

  8. Navigate back to the left-hand menu and choose Users. Assign the same users who have been assigned the intranet's original app.

Note:

You will need to hide the original application as this should be the only app visible to the users.
