Set up SSO
The context
Laura is a systems administrator at DesignStudio, a design studio with 35 people. Her teams complain about having to log in separately to each tool: Figma, Notion, GitLab, Mattermost… Every week, she spends time resetting forgotten passwords. She wants to implement Single Sign-On (SSO) to simplify everyone's life.
The problem without VaultysHub
- Each application has its own authentication system
- Employees create weak passwords to remember them
- Password resets consume IT time
- No consistency in authentication policies between tools
With VaultysHub
Step 1 — Choose compatible applications
Laura consults the SSO integration catalog of VaultysHub. She finds pre-configured connectors for Notion, GitLab, Mattermost, Nextcloud, and many others.
Step 2 — Configure SSO (15 minutes per application)
For each application, Laura follows a step-by-step guide:
- She retrieves the SSO login information from VaultysHub (Entity ID, callback URL)
- She enters them into the administration interface of the target application
- She tests the connection
Step 3 — Deploy
Once SSO is activated, employees just need to click on the application in their VaultysHub dashboard. Authentication is done automatically via their VaultysID — a single action to access everything.
Step 4 — Remove passwords
With SSO in place, Laura can disable password authentication on applications that allow it. The number of reset tickets drops to zero.
