Federated Single Sign-On overview

Federated Single Sign-On (SSO) lets your firm's users access Thomson Reuters products using their existing network credentials, eliminating the need for a separate sign in.
Thomson Reuters continues to upgrade Thomson Reuters Account, with the goal of continuously improving both security and usability. Federated SSO is a powerful option to let your firm's users access Thomson Reuters products without a separate sign in.
Using Federated SSO, your firm's users authenticate on your Workforce Identity service first. They are then automatically authenticated into Thomson Reuters products via your firm's Federated SSO connection with Thomson Reuters Account.
By setting up a Federated SSO, your firm's IT department establishes trust between your Workforce Identity service and Thomson Reuters Account. This is done using industry-standard mechanisms like SAML or OpenID Connect. Once that trust is set up and turned on, your firm's users can sign in to Thomson Reuters products without using a separate username and password.

How it works for users

  1. The user will open their Thomson Reuters product and sign in.
  2. The Thomson Reuters product will redirect to the Thomson Reuters Account sign-in page.
  3. The user will enter their email address.
  4. Thomson Reuters Account will redirect the user to your Workforce Identity service.
  5. Your Workforce Identity service will authenticate the user (or use an existing authentication session) and redirect back to Thomson Reuters Account.
  6. The user will be signed in to the Thomson Reuters product.
