Setting up SSO Pros & Cons

[ChristineFe]

Hi everyone! I was hoping some of you can help me. As a global company we are discussing using SSO with all of the other apps our IT group manages. We have been using Workfront for about a year and half now and it is spreading through the company like wildfire as many of you can relate. I would appreciate any feedback / experiences anyone has had that you think I should consider, good or bad. Thank you! Christine Fecik Creative Traffic Manager Workfront System Admin Elekta

We love it! Saves me time resetting passwords, saves our users time having to log in, etc. But ours was relatively easy to set up. We had our very knowledgeable IT guy work on it with me and we had very little issue. Perhaps we were lucky, but we've haven't had any problems since either. Well we did have one or two problems recently where someone else somehow got logged in as me and another got logged in as my boss (we're both Admins). But that ticket is still open with WF, so I'm not sure if it's an SSO issue or something else.

Good Afternoon, SSO works great with Workfront! There were some bumps early on with regards to updating meta data but as long as you have a solid SSO administrator (we're using Okta) you'll be in good shape! :) Best of luck to you!

We implemented SSO with Workfront and it's been very smooth sailing and great! Malisa Lieser Tennant

One "Pro" worth mentioning is that SSO usually implies a greater level of security. It's one less password to remember and your organization likely enforces password policies (like changing every x days, complexity, not reusing, etc.) that you may not have enabled with WF because no one wants to have to constantly change their password their as well. Additionally, since we are using ADFS to log in (when we go to WF we are re-directed to our internal access portal and then, once validated, put into WF) we are also in the process of testing adding two factor authentication to our ADFS page for external entry. So, if we are on our work network, we just need our standard credentials but if we are off the network you have to use username/password and have our two factor authentication app to validate. Again, if security is a concern, this helps add an additional layer. Jason Maust McGuireWoods LLP

We use SSO in two different ways....and both work fantastic. One group has limited view of forms to choose from as they initiate a request to another requestor who has more access and continues adding another form to keep project moving unless it is rejected. Second group can request directly and has several other forms available to choose. It's been a blessing for "customers" who are still internal, but are not project managers or sponsors, to get info to whomever it needs to go to....etc. highly recommend!
