Configure SP-Initiated SSO for Procore in OneLogin

 Note

If your organization is using the Portfolio Financials and Capital Planning products in Procore, you will need to reach out to your Procore point of contact or the Support team to set up your OneLogin SSO.

Background

Term

SP-Initiated Context

IdP-Initiated Context

Identity Provider (IdP)

Authenticates the user after receiving a request from Procore.

Authenticates the user directly within the IdP portal and initiates the session.

Service Provider (SP)

Procore—initiates the login request and consumes the returned assertion.

Procore—receives and validates the unsolicited assertion from the IdP.

Issuer URL (Entity ID)

Identifies Procore as the entity requesting authentication.

Identifies your IdP as the entity issuing the authentication assertion.

Target URL

The IdP endpoint where Procore sends the SAML AuthnRequest.

The IdP app tile/launch URL that routes the user directly to Procore.

SAML

Protocol used to pass requests to the IdP and assertions back to Procore.

Protocol used to push pre-generated authentication assertions directly to Procore.

X.509 Certificate

Verifies signatures on both outgoing requests and incoming assertions.

Verifies the IdP's digital signature on the incoming authentication assertion.

If your company wants to configure Single Sign-On with OneLogin, you can leverage one of Procore's supported SSO solutions:

  • Identity Provider Initiated (IdP-initiated) SSO. With this option, your end users must log into your Identity Provider's SSO page (e.g., OneLogin) and then click an icon to log into and open the Procore web application. To configure this solution, see Configure IdP-Initiated SSO for OneLogin.
    OR

  • Service Provider Initiated (SP-initiated) SSO. Referred to as Procore-initiated SSO, this option gives your end users the ability to sign into the Procore Login page and then sends an authorization request to the IdP. Once the IdP authenticates the user's identify, the user is logged into Procore. To configure this solution, see the Steps below.

Things to Consider

  • Required Permissions:

    • Administrator permission to OneLogin.
      AND

    • 'Admin' level permissions to Procore's Company level Admin tool.

  • Prerequisites:

  • Supported Authentication Protocol:

    • Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML 2.0)

  • Additional Information:

    • Procore-initiated SSO supports both single domain and multiple domain sign in. After completing the steps below, you must provide your SSO domain(s) to your company's Procore point of contact. This information will added to Procore as a final configuration step before you test your SSO configuration.

 Tip: When to use 'Enable Unique Entity ID' in Procore
  • Single Instance: If your company only manages one (1) Procore company instance, clear the Enable Unique Entity ID check box.

  • Multiple Instances: If your company manages multiple Procore company instances and requires a dedicated enterprise application for each instance in your IdP, mark the Enable Unique Entity ID check box. Note that each Procore instance is still limited to one (1) enterprise application.

Important Requirements & Limitations:

  • Email Domain Rule: Procore targets SSO users by email domain. An email domain can only be mapped to one (1) Procore company instance across the entire platform.

  • Generating the URL: You must select the Enable Unique Entity ID check box on the SSO Configuration page in the Company Admin tool before the unique Single Sign On Entity ID URL will appear in Procore (the service provider). Once generated, copy and paste this URL into the IdP's Entity ID field.

  • Access & Provisioning: Enabling this check box does not alter company access. Access to a company instance in Procore is determined by a user's presence in the company's Directory tool and their configured tool permissions. Automated user provisioning is not currently supported.
