Move aside, Harry Potter. This Halloween season, Kryterion’s SaaS wizards are enchanting exam experiences with an expanded menu of single sign-on (SSO) options that offer seamless, hassle-free access for candidates. For those unfamiliar, Single Sign-On is a powerful tool that allows users log in once to access multiple applications or websites—without re-entering credentials.
When implemented in Webassessor, SSO links swiftly guide candidates from clients LMS and CRM systems to their branded Webassessor landing pages or other key Webassessor pages. Once the candidates complete their tasks, the same SSO functionality can effortlessly return them to their starting point.
For candidates, SSO creates a smooth, frustration-free journey. For test sponsors, the benefits are indisputably strategic.
SSO delivers a powerful set of advantages:
- Streamlined user experience: One login to rule them all—no more juggling multiple logins, reducing drop-off rates and keeping candidates engaged.
- Enhanced security: Say goodbye to password fatigue, which can lead to poor password hygiene. With SSO, stronger passwords are easier to manage, safeguarding both candidates and data.
- Reduced IT strain: Fewer login issues mean fewer support calls for password resets and troubleshooting.
- Integrated reporting: All user activity—from registration to exam completion—ties to a single profile, simplifying data integration and enabling accurate engagement reporting.
SSO Options Tailored to Your Needs
Kryterion offers four distinct SSO integration methods to suit your specific use case:
- SSO Standard using OAuth 2.0
- SSO Standard using SAML
- SSO Deep Links using OAuth 2.0
- SSO Deep Links using SAML
SSO Standard
SSO Standard is ideal when you want to streamline the login process for candidates accessing Webassessor.
Example: With SSO Standard, a candidate can click a link from your LMS or CMS, automatically log into your branded Webassessor portal, and get straight to work—no need to re-enter credentials. They can browse, register, or complete tasks, logging out only when they’re finished.
SSO Deep Links
SSO Deep Links are perfect when you want to give candidates direct access to specific resources without detours.
Example: Suppose you want candidates to go directly to Webassessor’s exam registration page from your LMS or CMS—skipping the home page. After they register, they’re instantly sent back to the original application.
With SSO Deep Links, you can create up to three seamless paths to perform key Webassessor tasks like registration, payment, or test scheduling—all without the need to re-enter credentials.
Regardless of which integration methodology you select, enabling SSO can save candidates’ time, abate anxiety, and reduce frustration, leading to a more pleasant and productive test-taking experience. No wand needed.
