Allow external users and groups to bypass single sign-on

Administrators can allow users and groups to bypass the Single Sign-on Authentication screen in Administration. Those users can sign in to ONESOURCE directly without using single sign-on (SSO).
  1. Bypass single-sign on
    note
    To bypass single sign-on, the account owners must first contact ONESOURCE Support to set up a trust relationship between the 2 accounts.
  2. Sign in to ONESOURCE, then select
    Administration
    .
  3. Select
    Setup
    , then
    Single Sign-On Authentication
    .
  4. To turn this option On, select
    Single Sign-On Authentication
    .
    1. Single Sign-On Authentication ON/OFF:
       If turned On, users have the capability to sign in directly. For those who don’t, they must go through the SSO URL.
    2. Require Single Sign-On Authentication to log in ON/OFF:
       If turned On, all users in the database must go through SSO; this makes SSO necessary for all users.
    3. Client Network Authentication URL:
       Enter your company network URL in the field. You will be the company URL to sign in – if either of the buttons is turned on, you must have a URL. If you turn the buttons off, the URL won’t work.
  5. Exclude groups from single sign-on
    This area enables administrators to control which users can bypass a company’s single sign-on requirement and log directly into ONESOURCE using the onesourcetax.com URL.
  6. On the Single Sign-On Authentication screen, scroll down to the Single Sign-On Exemptions section.
  7. Mark the groups and select
    Transfer
     to move them to the Selected Groups list (single sign-on exemption).
  8. Example: To exclude ‘Administrator’ group, transfer that group to the Selected Groups list.
  9. Select the
    Users
     tab to see the list of users who are exempt from single sign-on.
