4.22. Enabling Third Party Authentication#
To enhance sign in options for your users, you can enable third party authentication, sometimes also called “third party auth”, “single sign on”, or “SSO”, between organizational authentication systems and the sites you define for your implementation of the edX platform. After you enable third party authentication, users can register and sign in to your Open edX site with their campus or organizational credentials.
