Enable users to sign into Buzz with their school credentials.
There's a video tutorial for this topic!
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 side menu in Domain > Details.
- Select Edit Settings.
- Open the authentication Type dropdown under Authentication:
- If you use Buzz:
- Indicate if you want to Allow users to create their own accounts.
- Indicate if you want to Set password policy.
- 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 you will use that 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.
- If you use Buzz:
- Save.
