SAML Secure Transparent Sign-On

Configure SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) for Glance Client, Screen Share, Device Casting, and Cobrowse using supported Identity Providers.

Secure Transparent Sign-On (single sign-on or SSO) is available for the Glance Client, Glance Screen Share, Glance Device Casting, and Glance Cobrowse. It is also available to sign in to Glance's Manage Your Account page.

You may configure your account (group) to use SSO. Once configured, it is available to all the users in your account.

The Glance service and website is a SAML Service Provider (also known as a Relying Party). Glance uses customer-furnished Identity Providers for secure transparent sign-on. Glance services work correctly when sign-on is initiated either by the Service Provider or the Identity Provider.

Service Target URLs

When accessing Glance via SSO, you use Service Target URLs (STUs). More information about STUs is here.
