Next Steps

Our team will update your Criteria account and advise once we are ready to begin testing the integration. For next steps, please continue to our SSO How-to Guide.

PLEASE NOTE: The terminology for the attributes for your company may not be an identical match to the attribute names in the SSO setup page. In that case, you can input the most closely related attribute on your end. For example, If the attribute on the SSO setup page lists “givenname” you can input the user’s first name.
