For Developers

Supported Functionality

Edlink supports integration with OneLogin as an OIDC-compliant authentication provider. This section outlines the supported functionality, features, and limitations specific to OneLogin.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Edlink integrates with OneLogin to facilitate SSO, allowing people to log in seamlessly to platforms connected via Edlink.

Compatibility

As an OIDC-compliant provider, OneLogin offers flexibility for schools and organizations already using its infrastructure.

Limitations

Some important things to keep in mind when using OneLogin with Edlink:

No Rostering Capabilities

  • Rostering (people, classes, enrollments) is not supported by OneLogin within Edlink. A separate primary source is required for these data.

Matching Identifiers Required

  • Ensure that email addresses or usernames in OneLogin align with those in the primary rostering source to prevent authentication failures.

Secondary Source Only

  • OneLogin acts solely as a secondary authentication source and cannot replace the primary rostering source.

Recommendations for Successful Implementation

  • Verify Matching Identifiers: Ensure identifiers (emails or usernames) in OneLogin match those in the primary source.
  • Choose Secure Configurations: Enable MFA within OneLogin for enhanced security.
  • Coordinate Sources: Ensure accurate and updated data from the primary source, as OneLogin will rely on it for authentication.
