Configuring your Single Sign-On Provider with PheedLoop
Please note, this article is written with the assumption that your SSO integration is connected to your account. For instructions, please consider reviewing our dedicated SSO articles such as NetForum and Personify.
Event Administrators can determine where their SSO integration appears in PheedLoop’s various front end portals. This is configured on an individual basis. For certain features, Single Sign-On can be configured as a requirement before accessing it. The user would need to login through the SSO before proceeding.
Whitelisting URLs for use
Before your SSO can have an effect, the URLs for the login pages must be whitelisted by your organization. When copying the URL, it is important to exclude the trailing hash from the URL, meaning everything past the '#' is excluded.
- For example, the registration page normally appears as: https://site.pheedloop.com/event/space/register#category
- To whitelist this page, use: https://site.pheedloop.com/event/space/register
Problems can occur while logging in with the SSO if everything past '#" is included.
The following login pages would need be whitelisted if they are being used:
- The Register Page in the Event Website
- The login page of the Exhibitor Portal
- The login page of the Sponsor Portal
- The login page of the Speaker Portal
- The start page of the Proposal Application
- The start page of the Exhibitor Application
- The start page of the Sponsor Application
Registration Tickets
During the registration flow, tickets can be configured so that only attendees who have logged in with the connected SSO will be able to checkout with tickets. Members who have not logged in via SSO will not be able to see the ticket from the list.
- From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Registration > Tickets
- Select the ticket you wish to configure from the list
- Scroll down to Options
- Toggle on the Member Only [API based] checkbox
- Select Save Changes
The ticket will now be hidden from non members during the ticket selection step. Please note, this section only refers to tickets, if you would like to restrict an entire category to only members, please read the Registration Categories section below.
Registration Categories
