Setting up MEX15's SSO comes as a standard feature and takes the hassle out of having to remember different credentials for multiple applications and eliminates the need to individually log into each one every time you need to use it.
MEX handles this in the back end allowing users to open up and instantly use all MEX applications with their credentials automatically activated. How Single Sign On Works With MEX Applications MEX SSO allows customers to specify an Identity Provider (such as ADFS) that MEX 15 can authenticate against, utilising your choice of either WS-Federation or SAML 2.0 protocols. This means that once a user has logged into the Identity Provider they will not need to enter any credentials again and MEX will know who they are. Upon opening the MEX application, MEX will cross check their credentials within the MEX Database and if that user exists, grant them access. In the case where the user does not exist, a new user is created in MEX with the selected security group nominated in the setup of MEX SSO for new users. Here is a flow chart illustrating this process:
All MEX applications are compatible with the MEX SSO including MEX, FleetMEX, MEX Ops and the MEX Dashboard.
The easiest way to get SSO off the ground on MEX is navigating to your MEX site and adding SAML after browser address: ‘yourcompanysitename.mex.com.au/SAML/’, logging in and then validating the associated information and clicking the box next to ‘Use Single Sign On’:
