Login Sources (SSO)

Understanding Login Sources

A "login source" is just the way a user signs into the system. For example, a user can log in directly through OPS-COM with their username and password—this would be the "OPSCOM" login source. Other login sources, like SAML or LDAP, allow users to log in through an external system instead.

This setup gives you control over how users access OPS-COM and allows you to offer multiple login options for convenience and flexibility.

You can add or change login sources by going to the Admin Options under the Users section.

Default Login Source

OPS-COM is the default login source. This means that users will log in with an OPS-COM username and password on the standard login screen.  

If you disable this default login source, then only other login sources, like SAML, will work.

Adding Login Sources

To add a new login source, click the “Add Login Source” button on the top right of the page.

Important - OPS-COM can support a system where some users require SSO and some do not, there can be multiple login sources. The source name is up to the Identity Provider, except for OPSCOM.

• Red fields are required to click save.
• Yellow fields are required to work but still allow empty or invalid values to be saved. Yellow fields can also indicate that a change has been made.

Important - The Login Source - Code field is what the user profile will match against when adding users to the new login source. However, only one login source code can be activated at a time. 

Managing Login Sources

Once you add login sources, you can manage them by editing or deleting them using the buttons next to each source.

Archiving a Login Source: Archiving a login source removes it from the login options users can see, and users connected to this login source will no longer be able to log in this way.
