Enable Single Sign-On (SSO) Between B2C Service and Live Experience

B2C Service and Live Experience both support single sign-on (SSO).

When you add Oracle Live Experience to your existing Oracle B2C Service site, you need to enable SSO and configure B2C Service to act as the identity provider for Live Experience. Then, when a B2C Service agent logs in to B2C Service, they're automatically logged in to Live Experience.
Note: Follow these steps only if you are adding Live Experience to your existing Oracle B2C Service site. If you purchased Live Experience and B2C Service together, SSO is already enabled between the products.

To enable SSO between B2C Service and Live Experience, you must contact your Oracle account manager and request the functionality. You also need to request to enable the SEC_END_USER_HTTPS configuration setting so that B2C Service can create the SAML assertion for an HTTPS connection.

  1. In the B2C Service Agent Desktop, expand Navigation > Site Configuration, and then double-click Single Sign-On Configurations.
  2. Enable the SSO_IDP_ENABLE_EXT_APPS configuration setting.
