SSO Portal configuration

Use the SSO Portal (formerly Secure Portal) to provide a main page for end user single sign-on (SSO) access to applications.

You can add many applications to the SSO Portal and give end users easy access to applications in your organization, using SSO.

With SecureAuth® Identity Platform release 24.04 or later, you can customize the look and feel of the SSO Portal by creating and applying portal themes. For more information, see SSO Portal themes.
