Opti ID is a single sign-on (SSO) solution for all your Optimizely products. When you migrate to Opti ID, if you already have an SSO app configured in your identity provider (IdP) for each Optimizely product, you need to configure an Opti ID SSO app in your IdP and deprecate the individual product apps.
For example, you might have the following Optimizely products:
- Optimizely Web Experimentation
- Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) SaaS
- Optimizely Data Platform (ODP)
And you have SSO configured through your IdP for each product, meaning you have three individual apps in your IdP: one for Web Experimentation, one for CMS SaaS, and one for ODP.
When you migrate to Opti ID, you can not use those individual SSO apps anymore. You must configure a new SSO app in your IdP for Opti ID.
This way, users in your organization can log in once through the Opti ID SSO app in your IdP, which then gives them access to all of your Optimizely products in the Opti ID global navigation bar.
SSO with Opti ID
Opti ID introduces a single login for all Optimizely products, meaning users only need to authenticate once to access all integrated Optimizely products.
To make this even more streamlined, you can configure SSO for Opti ID. To do this, your organization must configure an SSO app in your IdP specifically for Opti ID. This is distinct from any previous app-specific IdP configurations.
After you configure the Opti ID SSO IdP app and your organization's users migrate to Opti ID, their access to all Optimizely products is managed by the single Opti ID SSO IdP app (as opposed to one for each Optimizely product).
This means your organization's users can log in once through the Opti ID SSO IdP app, and access all linked Optimizely products without having to sign in again.
Opti ID SSO migration considerations
Before migrating to Opti ID, you should configure SSO for Opti ID to ensure a smooth transition.
After the migration to Opti ID, you should deprecate all previous IdP apps that you configured for specific products, simplifying user access and credential management.
Benefits of Opti ID
- Streamlined user authentication – Users benefit from an SSO experience across all Optimizely products, reducing the complexity of managing multiple credentials.
- Simplified user administration – IT teams can manage access more efficiently, with fewer IdP apps to maintain after migrating to Opti ID.
