SSO for federated users
Federated users can log in to Trados Enterprise by using the same credentials that they use within their organization.
An RWS representative can configure identity federation for your organization upon demand. In this case, you will need to provide a list of email domains used by your organization. After federation has been configured for your domains, all the Trados Enterprise users registered as part of those domains will be able to log in to Trados Enterprise by using their domain credentials.
Automatic user provisioning
Another on-demand feature available to federated customers has to do with automatic user provisioning (or just-in-time provisioning). This is a process by which Trados Enterprise representatives can automate the creation of Trados Enterprise accounts for federated users. This involves delegating the Trados Enterprise authentication process to the customer's identity provider through a protocol called SAML 2.0.
With automatic user provisioning enabled, customer administrators no longer have to create Trados Enterprise users or send invites manually; instead, an account is created automatically when a user from a federated domain logs in to Trados Enterprise for the first time.
You can even take this one step further and have regular users from your federated domain to be created as Translators, for example, and users who are listed as part of the PJM group in your organization to be created directly as Project Managers in Trados Enterprise. Ask your RWS point of contact how to implement the most suitable solution for your organization.
To configure automatic user provisioning, an exchange of certificates, URLs, and other metadata needs to be established between the Trados Enterprise identity provider (Auth0) and your identity provider.
