To ensure learners can sign in to Access Bookboon quickly and securely, you can set up federated access using OpenID Connect (OIDC). This allows users to log in with their existing work credentials instead of creating a separate Access Bookboon account.
📌 Note: Access supports OIDC only. We do not support SAML.
Your organisation must use an identity provider that supports OIDC, such as Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, or a similar service.
You can learn more by watching the video or following the below steps.
