Pass Through Authentication (PTA) lets a user go straight to the platform from an organization's web page or application, without having to log in again.
How it Works
Actions
User... Platform... Your Organization's Web Service... 1. Provides a web page or application 2. Visits the page or application 3. Clicks a link to go to a platform page 4. Passes data to the platform's PTA service in the SOAP payload 5. - Receives data in the SOAP payload:
- Session ID (optional, but desirable)
- Login ID
- Passes data to the Authentication server
6. Receives a success- or failure-report from the Authentication Server 7. Redirects the user to the appropriate page.
Enabling Pass Through Authentication
- Click Settings > Administration > Single Sign-On
- Click the [Edit] button
- For Single Sign-On Settings, choose Pass Through Authentication
- Fill in the Pass Through Authentication Settings:
- Third party Authentication Service URL
- Location of the authentication service. The platform uses this URL to authenticate the USER, passing the appropriate pay load in the HTTP request.

The default destination is the platformâs Login-error page.
