Pre-authenticated logins
Single Sign-On (SSO) with Vymo
If your company uses a single sign-on solution, you can use the same credentials to log into Vymo. This feature allows you to access Vymo without entering your user credentials each time, simplifying your login process.SSO is a user authentication service that allows a user to use one set of login credentials (e.g., name and password) to access multiple applications.
How It Works
- Your company issues a session token to Vymo.
- Vymo uses this token to call your company's API.
- The API validates the token.
- If the token is valid and you have a Vymo account, you are logged into Vymo automatically.
Application-Based Authentication (AuthN): The application itself handles user authentication.
Claim-Based Authentication: Uses an identity provider (IdP) that the application trusts. The user receives a claim or token which the application recognizes.
Differences from OAuth 2.0
- OAuth 2.0: Requires explicit authorization for the Vymo app.
- Pre-authenticated Login: No user action is required; logins are automatic using the SSO principle.
Using Pre-Authenticated Login
Once pre-authenticated login is implemented:
- If you're already logged into your company's system and open the Vymo app, you will be automatically logged into Vymo.
- Logging out from your company's system also ends your session in Vymo if accessed through your company's app.
- If you log out of Vymo but not your company's system, you can re-enter Vymo simply by opening the app again.
