---title: Setting up SSO with UltiPro---

settingupssowithultiproSetting up SSO with UltiPro

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.

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.

This topic describes how to set up SSO with UltiPro and is divided into the following activities:

To create an UltiPro SSO application in EmpowerID

From the Navigation Sidebar, navigate to the find protected application resource page by expanding Applications and clicking Manage Applications. From the Actions pane of Application Manager, click theCreate Application action.

This opens the Application Details form, which contains various tabs and fields for creating the application.

From the General tab of the Application Details form, do the following:
  1. Type an appropriate name, display name and description for the application in the Name, Display Name and Description fields, respectively.
  2. In the Icon field, type ~ Images/AppLogos/UltiPro.png in this field. This is the path to the UltiPro image provided by EmpowerID. Users with access to the application will see this image representing UltiPro in their Personal Applications page of the EmpowerID Web application.
  3. Select or deselect Allow Access Requests to specify whether to allow access requests. When this option is selected, the application appears in the IT Shop, allowing users to request or claim an account in the application.
  4. Select or deselect Allow Claim Account to specify whether to give users the ability to claim an account they have in the application. When this option is selected, users can claim their accounts and gain instant access after passing the requisite identity proofs.
  5. Select or deselect SSO Enabled to specify whether the application is an SSO app. This should be selected.
  6. Select or deselect Requires Account For SSO to specify whether users must have an account in the application for SSO. This should be selected.
  7. Select or deselect Allow Request Account to specify whether to allow users to request an account in the application. When this option is selected and Allow Access Requests is selected, users can request an account in the application.
  8. Select or deselect Login Is Email Address to specify whether the login for the application is an email address. This setting is necessary for passing the appropriate identity assertion to the application when logging in from EmpowerID.
  9. Select or deselect Make me the Application Owner to specify whether you are the owner of the application. Application owners have the ability to manage the application and approve or deny access requests.
  10. Configure Advanced Claim and Request Account Options - Select this option and then provide the appropriate advanced configuration information if you have custom pages and workflows configured in EmpowerID for processing access requests as well as for managing any accounts linked to the application's (internal to EmpowerID) account directory.
Click the Single Sign-On tab and do the following:
  1. Select SAML from the Single Sign-On Connection Type drop-down and then select Create a New SAML Connection.
  2. In the SAML Connection Information section that appears, select UltiPro SSO Connection Settings from the SAML Application Template drop-down. This populates the SAML Connection Information section with the common SSO settings for UltiPro provided by the template.
  3. In the Display Name field of the SAML Connection Information section, type the name for the UltiPro SSO Connection that you want to appear to users in the EmpowerID user interfaces. By default EmpowerID populates the value of this field with the name you gave to the application above.
  4. Select the appropriate certificate to sign the SAML assertions sent to UltiPro from the Certificate drop-down.
  5. Leave all other fields set to their default values.
Click the Users tab and do one of the following:
  • If you have not connected EmpowerID to your enterprise UltiPro account - Select Create a New Account Directory. Doing so instructs EmpowerID to create a special type of account store that is internal to EmpowerID, known as a "tracking-only" account store. A tracking-only account store account exists as a container within EmpowerID for storing user and group records apart from those located in the actual directory Google maintains for your Google Apps.
  • If you have connected EmpowerID to your enterprise UltiPro account - Select the Account Store for UltiPro account from theSelect existing AccountDirectory drop-down. EmpowerID uses this directory to map your UltiPro users with their corresponding EmpowerID Persons. Please note that you must add this account store to EmpowerID before it will appear in the drop-down.
Click Add to Cart. Click the My Cart link and in the Cart dialog that appears, type a reason for creating the application and then click Submit.

Now that you have created the application in EmpowerID, the next step is for UltiPro to set your account for SSO. Once they have completed this, you can access your UltiPro account from EmpowerID, as shown below.

To test the UltiPro SSO application

  1. Log in to the EmpowerID Web application as the owner of the UltiPro application you just created.
  2. From the Navigation Sidebar, navigate to the IT Shop by expanding Applications and clicking Request Access.
  3. In the IT Shop, search for the UltiPro application you just created and click the Request Accesslink.
  4. Underneath Account Management, click either Claim Existing Account (if you have connected EmpowerID to UltiPro and have an UltiPro account that has been inventoried by EmpowerID) or click Request New Account (if you currently do not have an UltiPro account that has been inventoried by EmpowerID). In our example, we are selecting Claim Existing Account.
  5. In the Register SSO Application Account form that appears, select UltiPro (or whatever you named the SSO application when you created it) from the SSO Application drop-down, type your UltiPro login in the SSO Application Login field and then click Submit.
  6. From the Navigation Sidebar, click Login underneath Applications.
