Configure EnterWorks for SSO
EnterWorks can be configured to manage users through an Identity Provider (IDP). EnterWorks supports standard protocol interfaces, however, IDPs may have unique idiosyncrasies in their implementation of a protocol that will require you to fine-tune configuration parameters. IDPs may also use non-standard terms when referring to configurable functionality. You may have to read the descriptions of their configuration options to determine which options apply to which behaviors, rather than simply relying on the names of the options.
For a list of the IDPs, protocols, and encryption algorithms EnterWorks can be configured to support, see: Supported Security Specifications.

Required information for SSO configuration
After setting up your Identity Provider (IDP), the following information is required from you to complete the SSO integration with EnterWorks:
- SSO metadata URL or file: A URL or file containing metadata for your IDP.
- SSO endpoint URLs: The URL(s) that EnterWorks will use to authenticate users through your IDP.
- Certificate files: The valid encryption certificate files used for secure communication between EnterWorks and your IDP.
Configure EnterWorks API access in an SSO environment
If EnterWorks is configured for SSO, in order for a non-web-based application to use a user's identity to access EnterWorks through the EnterWorks REST API, EnterWorks must be configured to authenticate the application's access. Applications that require this access include SmartTemplate Pro. For more information and instructions on configuring EnterWorks, see EnterWorks REST API Access and Single Sign-on (SSO).
