Single Sign-On

Single Sign-On (SSO) enables users to log into Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition applications using their corporate credentials.

In an SSO environment, users are authenticated by an Identity Provider (e.g. OIF, ADFS) that is maintained by their corporate IT department. Both employees and candidates who have access to internal career sections can use SSO to access Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition products. SSO cannot be used for external career sections.

Customers who want to use SSO can implement it themselves through the SSO configuration interface. Customers perform easy configuration steps to enable and support one or more identity providers. The feature supports two flows to authenticate users:

• Users are authenticated through their company portal, then they access Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition products through the portal (Identity Provider initiated flow).

• Users access the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition product URL directly and are redirected to their identity provider for authentication (Service Provider initiated flow).

Customers can configure the authentication request flows, and exit and error URLs for seamless integration with their environment.

SSO setup requires:

• An Identity Provider with SAML 2.0 support.

• A user/candidate synchronization feed between the Identity Provider and Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition. This can be developed using Taleo Connect Client (TCC).

• A corporate portal (optional).

Information technology professionals (system administrators, implementation consultants, etc.) who are planning on integrating Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition with their corporate Single Sign-On (SSO) system should be familiar with:

• Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition

• SAML 2.0 based SSO

• SSO Identity Provider (IdP) setup 

• Taleo Connect Client (TCC)

SSO is only available for new customers or current customers who do not have an SSO setup in their zone. The SSO configuration screens are unavailable to customers who already have an SSO setup in place.
