Single Sign-On (SSO) Certification Guide

SSO integrations allow you to streamline the login process by enabling a single set of credentials for accessing School Passport and your integration. SSO Сertification determines that SSO integrated with your integration will correctly interact with School Passport.

Overview

Once you have developed your integration in the School Passport Sandbox, you may request its certification. Your integration will be verified by the GG4L Engineering Team in accordance with Certification requirements. The review process typically takes about 5 business days. Once the review is complete, you will receive an email containing your certification results and recommended next steps. If necessary, we can also schedule a call to discuss the integration in more detail.

Stage 1: Preparation for certification

Before requesting certification, review the technical requirements and eligibility qualifications that your integration must meet.
