What is the difference between SP- and IdP-Initiated SSO?
Answer
Procore supports both SP- and IdP-initiated SSO:
- Identity Provider Initiated (IdP-initiated) SSO. With this option, your end users must log into your Identity Provider's SSO page (e.g. Okta, OneLogin or Microsoft Azure AD) and then click an icon to log into and open the Procore web application. To configure this solution, see Configure IdP-Initiated SSO for Microsoft Azure AD, Configure Procore for IdP-Initated Okta SSO, or Configure IdP-Initiated SSO for OneLogin.
OR - Service Provider Initiated (SP-initiated) SSO. Referred to as Procore-initiated SSO, this option gives your end users the ability to sign into the Procore Login page and then sends an authorization request to the Identify Provider (e.g. Okta, OneLogin or Microsoft Azure AD). Once the IdP authenticates the user's identify, the user is logged into Procore. To configure this solution, see Configure Procore-Initiated SSO for Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Configure Procore-Initiated SSO for Okta, or Configure Procore-Initiated SSO for OneLogin.
