The EmpowerID SSO framework allows you to integrate UltiPro with EmpowerID, making EmpowerID the identity provider for your organization's UltiPro account. In this way, users can access their corporate UltiPro accounts directly from EmpowerID using their EmpowerID credentials, their corporate AD logins, or those of another trusted (third-party) identity provider that has been integrated with EmpowerID.
| Note |

As a prerequisite to creating an SSO Connection for UltiPro as a service provider in EmpowerID, you must have an UltiPro account. Additionally, UltiPro uses ADFS2 to federate with third-party applications, therefore you must send UltiPro the certificate you are using in your EmpowerID configuration so they can configure ADFS2 appropriately. |
