How To Set up SSO

SSO (Single Sign-On) authentication allows your team members to securely login to the Swivl app or web platform with ease and simplicity. Teachers, coaches, and students use their institutional login and password to access their Swivl Team account. It is time-saving, convenient and secure process of logging in and using Swivl.

We support all SSO providers which can act as a SAML Identity Provider

To set up SSO please forward the following information to your IT department:

                                   Setup SSO Connection with Swivl Platform

Information we need from you as the Identity Provider:

1. Identity Provider Name (example: TTU)
2. Email domain (example: ttu.edu)
3. Entity ID (example: https://idp.shibboleth.ttu.edu/idp/shibboleth)
4. URL to metadata.xml (example: https://idp.shibboleth.ttu.edu/idp/shibboleth)
5. Email this information to your primary Swivl contact or to [e-mail]

What needs to be configured on your side:

Create a new Service Provider profile with the following settings:

1. Service Provider Name: Swivl Cloud
2. Entity ID: https://cloud.swivl.com/sso
3. ACS URL: https://cloud.swivl.com/sso/login_check
4. Metadata: http://cloud.swivl.com/sso/metadata.xml
5. Required user profile attributes:
1. First name
2. Last name
3. Full name - in one of the following formats:
1. John Smith
2. Smith John
3. Smith, John
4. Email address (attribute name: uid)

How to test the SSO connection:

1. Visit page https://cloud.swivl.com/sso/login
2. Enter Email address in your domain and press the “Sign in” button
3. You should be redirected to your IdP sign in page
4. Sign in on IdP using your credentials
5. You should then be redirected back to Swivl Cloud
6. Notify us about successful SSO connection test and we will setup attribute mapping on our side
7. Sign in with SSO again and you should see the correct First and Last name.
