SAML Single Sign On allows people to use their company email address and password (the same information that they would use to log in to their work computer) to log in to BCDE, provided that their BCDE Server has been set up to allow this. This means that people do not need to remember another separate password for BCDE.
It cannot be enabled by default. Some configuration is required to connect the BCDE Server to the appropriate SAML authentication system. The connection is normally made to a Microsoft Azure application which manages the email addresses of the users belonging to the company. This configuration would normally be organized by the System Administrators through the BCDE Account Manager and is usually chargeable work. This page lists the technical information that we would need about the SAML application in order to be able to configure it on your BCDE Server.
If SAML Single Sign On is enabled on your system, you will see the "Use my corporate Account" button appearing on the login page of your BCDE server, as shown in the screenshot below.

1. To log in using this method, click on "Use my corporate Account" from the login page.
2. Enter your company email address in the first Microsoft Login prompt which appears and advance to the next step.
· This email address would be the email address that you would use to log in to your company computer.
· This email address must match an email address that is connected with your BCDE user account.
3. Enter the password that you would use to log into your company computer and advance to the next step.
4. You should be redirected back to the home page in BCDE.
Note: You may find that you don't have to enter details of your corporate account in steps 2 and 3 - you may be logged directly into BCDE. This would happen if you have already authenticated with your Online Microsoft Account, e.g., when accessing any application using Microsoft authentication such as your company’s Intranet or if you signed in Microsoft’s Azure or Office365 ecosystem.
If you have any problems at all, contact your project administrator or BCDE Support
