Single Sign-On (SSO / SAML): Enterprise Identity Management for Borong
Enterprise organisations manage user access to dozens of software platforms. Requiring separate credentials for each system creates security risk, user friction, and IT overhead. Borong supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0, allowing enterprise users to authenticate with the Borong platform using their existing corporate identity credentials. Access to Borong is governed by the organisation's central identity provider, applying the same authentication standards as all other enterprise systems.
What Is SSO and Why It Matters for Enterprise Procurement
Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to authenticate once with a central identity provider and access multiple connected applications without separate logins. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is the dominant enterprise standard for SSO federation, supported by all major identity providers and enterprise software platforms.
SSO matters for three reasons. Security: IT governs access centrally, so provisioning and de-provisioning stay consistent and authentication standards, including multi-factor, apply to Borong as to every other enterprise system. User experience: nobody needs separate Borong credentials. IT governance: Borong access is managed through the same identity platform as every other application.
How Borong SSO Works
Borong acts as the SAML Service Provider (SP) in the SSO federation. The organisation's identity provider (IdP) handles authentication and issues SAML assertions that Borong accepts as proof of identity. When a user navigates to the Borong platform, they are redirected to their organisation's identity provider for authentication. On successful authentication, the IdP sends a SAML assertion to Borong, which grants access to the platform based on the user's identity and role attributes included in the assertion. User provisioning and de-provisioning can be managed through the IdP, ensuring that Borong access reflects current employment and role status automatically.
Compatible Identity Providers
Borong SSO is compatible with all major enterprise identity providers that support SAML 2.0, including Okta, Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD / Entra ID), Google Workspace, OneLogin, Ping Identity, and ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services). For organisations using other SAML 2.0 compliant identity providers, speak to a Borong integration specialist to confirm compatibility.
What SSO Delivers for IT and Procurement Teams
- Users access Borong with existing corporate credentials, eliminating separate Borong passwords
- Authentication standards including MFA apply to Borong access through the central IdP
- User provisioning and de-provisioning managed centrally through the identity provider
- IT governance of Borong access consistent with all other enterprise application access management
- Reduced IT helpdesk overhead from Borong-specific credential management
