Announcing Support for Single Sign-On User Authentication

 

TUNE is excited to announce support for Single Sign-On (SSO) user authentication! If you’re currently taking advantage of SSO in your organization, that seamless and secure login flow experience can be extended to your users when they access TUNE.

Benefits of Single Sign-On

Single sign-on is a common authentication method that allows a user to utilize a single login to securely access multiple systems or applications. If you’re not currently utilizing an SSO service, we suggest looking at Okta as an example. SSO can help maintain tighter controls among IT systems and staff. In addition to tighter controls, SSO can also help reduce login fatigue and increase productivity because users no longer have to manage multiple sets of login credentials and passwords.

Okta suggests that taking advantage of SSO can reduce login related help desk tickets by 75% and reduce new user onboarding time by up to 50% [1]. With that in mind, the sooner your new users have access to TUNE, the greater potential ROI you’re getting from your affiliate marketing program.

How to Enable SSO in TUNE

The Single Sign-On Settings interface in the TUNE platform. Enabling SSO through Okta is as simple as filling out four fields and clicking the “SSO Enabled” checkbox.

For those of you with SSO already implemented, TUNE accounts will support an OpenID Connect (OIDC) based, service provider (SP) initiated version of single-sign on, including direct support for customers utilizing Okta as their SSO provider. SP initiated login helps extend a consistent login experience for your users and saves your organization time from having to implement a more custom identity provider (IdP) initiated login.

Setting up SSO through Okta is as simple as filling out four fields and enabling the feature for your users.

For now, TUNE’s SSO implementation will support all Employee level users. Partner and Advertiser users aren’t supported at this time. Does your organization have a good use case for supporting these additional user types? We’d like to hear about it! Log in to your TUNE account at https://feedback.tune.com and let us know.
