Set Up Single Sign-On

Administrator access on Peakon.
If your employees have email addresses from multiple domains, you need to specify them on your organization's account for single sign-on (SSO) to work. Contact Customer Care for assistance.
You can set up SSO so your employees can sign into Peakon using their credentials from your identity management tool. Example: Okta. See Concept: Single Sign-On  for more information.
Peakon is deprecating the legacy app.peakon.com domain and replacing it with a unique subdomain per customer. Ensure that your SSO configuration reflects your organization's subdomain before August 2024. See more: Workday Peakon legacy domain retirement.
  1. Enable SSO in Peakon.
    1. Go to
      Administration
      Integrations
      Single Sign-On
      .
    2. Click
      Connect
      . The page will now display SSO configuration fields.
  2. Enter
    SSO Log-in URL
    .
  3. Copy the
    Entity ID
    and
    Reply URL (ACS)
    values, then enter them in the tool that you will use for SSO.
  4. (Optional) Enter
    SSO Log-out URL
    .
  5. Upload
    Certificate
    .
  6. Select an option in the
    Require single sign-on
    drop-down menu.
  7. (Optional)
    Force authentication
    to require anyone signing in to go through SSO, even if they have an active session.
  8. (Optional)
    Force legacy domain
    if you need to use the legacy domain app.peakon.com for the redirect URL. Note that when using this setting, the
    Entity ID
    and
    Reply URL
    settings won't update, but the functionality will work as intended.
    This setting provides easier adoption of subdomains for customers who use Okta or other SSO providers that don't allow multiple callback URLs. See this article for more details: Workday Peakon legacy domain retirement.
  9. Test SSO:
    1. Sign out of Peakon, then sign back in using your work email address and continue.
    2. Peakon should redirect you to the SSO page in your identity management tool, then redirect back to Peakon.
