HelloID is a Cloud Identity & Access Management-as-a-Service (IDaaS) platform that helps organizations manage user identities, authentication, and access securely in the cloud. It supports industry-standard protocols such as OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC), making it a versatile and secure choice for integration with Edlink.
Edlink’s support for OAuth 2.0 and OIDC ensures that integrating with HelloID is straightforward, allowing features like Single Sign-On (SSO) and token-based resource access.
How HelloID Works with Edlink
HelloID works as an Identity Provider (IdP) for organizations using Edlink's APIs. This integration enables secure Single Sign-On (SSO) for users accessing connected platforms, focusing solely on authentication without handling roster data synchronization.
Integration Workflow
- HelloID Configuration: Organizations set up HelloID as their IdP to manage authentication.
- Edlink Connection: HelloID connects to Edlink through OAuth 2.0 and OIDC protocols.
- Source Integration: Link HelloID authentication to your primary data source (such as SIS or LMS) to enable user access.
Requirements for Integration
For successful integration between HelloID and Edlink, specific technical requirements must be met.
Data Alignment
- Email Matching: User email addresses in HelloID must match those in your primary data source.
- Identity Verification: HelloID handles user authentication while roster data comes from your primary source.
Technical Prerequisites
- A primary data source (SIS, LMS, or CSV upload) must be configured before HelloID integration.
- HelloID is used exclusively for authentication, not roster data management.
- Valid HelloID subscription with OAuth 2.0 and OIDC capabilities enabled.
Implementation Notes
- Authentication Only: HelloID serves as a secondary authentication layer.
- Data Source Requirements: Primary roster data must come from another source.
- Protocol Support: Integration relies on standard OAuth 2.0 and OIDC protocols.
