Who can use this feature?
Single Sign-on (SSO) is available only to Sales Navigator Advanced and Advanced Plus users.
Sales Navigator Single Sign-on (SSO) allows your company's employees to authenticate with SSO sign in using their corporate credentials before being prompted to verify their LinkedIn credentials. After this initial authentication, a cached sign in is stored, for both the SSO and LinkedIn sign in (depending on browser and SSO settings), for up to 12 hours before requiring reauthentication.
Using SSO is not required to use LinkedIn applications. If SSO isn't configured, your employees can authenticate themselves using their current personal LinkedIn credentials or create a new member account.
Using SSO allows you to:
-
Leverage your existing company's authentication.
-
Increase security when employees use your company's established password protocols rather than their individual accounts.
-
Manage users more easily when employees leave your company.
LinkedIn is SAML 2.0 certified, however, we don't support OAuth2.0 or OpenID at this time.
