Enable users to sign into Buzz with their school credentials.
Buzz supports the use of Single Sign-on (SSO) features to allow users to sign into one application (for example, a student information system) and be automatically logged into Buzz without needing to re-enter credentials. This feature can help eliminate the need for teachers and students to remember multiple credential sets.
Configure SSO
- Open the More menu in Domain > Details.
- Select Domain settings.
- Open the authentication Type dropdown under Authentication:
- If you don't want to use SSO, select Buzz.
- If you use CAS:
- Provide the CAS Server URL.
- Indicate if you want to Logout of CAS when logging out of Buzz.
- Indicate if you want to Prevent users from using Buzz credentials.
- Indicate if you want to Open login in a new window.
- If you use Domain, provide the Domain ID and your domain's users will use the selected domain's SSO configuration. For example, if you configured SAML in a district domain, you can point to that school domain to use the district's SAML configuration.
- If you use SAML:
- Choose the signature algorithm you want to use. Your SAML provider can tell you which signature algorithm to use; if you can use either, we recommend SHA-256 as it is more secure.
- Upload the idp-meta XML file.
- Indicate if you want to Prevent users from using Buzz credentials.
- Indicate if you want to Open login in a new window.
- Save.
