Single Sign On (SSO)

In addition to the user authentication provided by Wordbee Translator, you can also use single sign-on (SSO), which authenticates your users with your existing enterprise sign-on pages. Management of user credentials then happens outside of Wordbee. User name, role and other fields can automatically updated from your systems whenever a user authenticates.

This is for customers requiring tight integration with existing authentication mechanisms. A centralised management of hundreds to thousands of users across all corporate applications adds substantial efficiences and is often a regulatory requirement. We are proud to be part of your success.

Compatibility

We support the SAML-2 industry standard. This makes it very likely that your existing user management smoothly integrates with Wordbee Translator:

• Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)

• Microsoft Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory)

• AWS Directory Service + AWS Single Sign-On

• Okta

• Ping Identity

• Salesforce

• OneLogin

• Many more commercial and open source solutions

Features

• Redirects users to your login page.

• Users are authenticated by your systems. Credentials never reach our servers.

• Users are managed in your systems, from email, name, company etc. Remove a user and he/she can no longer login into Wordbee.

• Users can be created in Wordbee Translator immediately upon first sign on (if enabled).

• Full support of "SAML claims" and field mapping options: User and company fields in Wordbee can all be updated from your systems.

• Exclude specific companies from SSO attribute updates: users from an excluded company still sign in normally, but their profile and company details are not overwritten from your systems.

• Possibility to propose single sign on for some users and classic Wordbee Translator sign on for others.

• Any strong authentication such as 2-factor logins can be implemented via your SSO system.

Excluding companies from attribute updates

By default, SSO refreshes user and company fields from your systems every time a user signs in. If some companies are managed another way (for example, through a nightly data sync via the Wordbee Translator API), you can exempt them so SSO leaves their data untouched.

For an excluded company:

• Users still authenticate and sign in normally.

• New users are still created on first sign-on.

• No attributes are overwritten: neither the user's fields (name, email, role) nor the company record (address, contact details).

• If SSO-only login is enforced, that enforcement still applies.

All other companies continue to have their profiles refreshed from SSO on each login, as before.
