How do I Enable Remote Authentication On My Account?
This lesson will show you how to enable remote authentication on your ScreenSteps Live account. Remote authentication allows you to control access to your ScreenSteps Live account by logging users in on your server. This means that you don't have to manage users on ScreenSteps Live. You can use your existing user authentication systems to authenticate users before they view your ScreenSteps Live content.
Two remote authentication modes are available, SAML and ScreenSteps Live Remote Authentication. If your use an identity provider that offers SAML support then you should choose this option. If not, then you will want to use ScreenSteps Live Remote Authentication to integrate with your existing services.
Before you follow these steps you should have already prepared and set up your server or identify provider to work with ScreenSteps Live. Please refer to the following chapters of this manual for instructions on setting up various 3rd party services to work with Remote Authentication.
