Manage Single Sign-on (SSO)

Manage Single Sign-on (SSO)

Single sign-on (SSO) authentication allows users to sign in to Carve through their Microsoft account, eliminating the need for a separate Carve username/password for each user.

It is important to understand that:
  1. SSO can only be configured by the Client, not by Valency.
  2. The Client manages SSO for Carve. This includes monitoring for upcoming secret key expirations and updating Carve with new secret keys before the expiration date.
For a successful maintenance process, we recommend:
  1. Ensuring that the Carve Company Admin knows who is responsible for managing their Carve SSO configuration (Carve SSO Admin).
  2. Implementing a work process where:
    1. The Carve Company Admin is notified each time the Carve SSO secret key is updated, including the new expiry date.
    2. The Carve Company Admin sets a calendar reminder for a few weeks before the SSO secret key expiry date, to contact the Carve SSO Admin and ensure the secret key is updated in Carve before the expiration date.
Please contact Valency Support for access to the SSO documentation.
