iManage supports single sign-on, which allows users to access multiple iManage applications after authenticating with one set of credentials. With single sign-on, authorization data is exchanged between an Identity Provider (IdP) and a service provider (iManage, in this case) when authenticating a user. iManage supports the following single sign-on authentication methods:

  • Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)

  • OpenID Connect (OIDC)

Configuring SSO for your iManage environment offloads the authentication of iManage users to your IdP and provides the following benefits:

  • Simplifies the authentication experience for your iManage users.

  • Reduces the cost of administering iManage user accounts, such as managing or resetting passwords for iManage users.

Configure single sign-on

You can manage SAML and OIDC SSO authentication within iManage Control Center. With this self-service option, you can set up SSO yourself, instead of having to contact iManage. You can also easily update the SSO configuration when your Identity Provider (IdP) SAML certificate or OIDC client secret is about to expire.

Refer to the following sections for instructions on activating and configuring single sign-on based on your authentication method:

TIP: To simplify user management, we support the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) provisioning standard. To learn more, refer to Synchronize users and groups from Azure AD to iManage Work at cloudimanage.com.
