How to set up SSO with Showell

SSO, also known as Single Sign-On or Custom Domain, is a convenient authentication service that allows users to access multiple applications with just one set of login credentials. In other words, these users don't need a separate username and password for Showell.

Setting up SSO requires a certain level of expertise in IT, so we recommend that you only proceed with this setup if your company has dedicated IT personnel who can handle the process effectively.


1. Choose a SSO platform that supports the 'OpenID Connect' protocol. Some examples of supported SSO platforms are:

2. Once you have selected and configured your preferred SSO platform, it should provide you with instructions on how to implement the 'OpenID Connect' protocol.

  • We provide the following instructions for setting up Azure/Entra ID SSO. Other SSO platforms might offer a similar way.

3. Once you are all set up on the SSO platform's side, you must provide your Showell contact person with the following information to establish the connection:

  • client_id
  • client_secret
  • discovery document URI
  • test credentials to see that everything works as it should

4. Showell will inform you once the connection has been established.
