Single-Sign-On (SSO) with Digicast's platforms

Digicast's webcast platforms support Single Sign On (SSO) for both users (webcast organizers, speakers, technicians) as well as participants.

We accept the following protocols:

• OpenID Connect (preferred)
• SAML 2.0 

OpenID Connect is preferable for large organizations with many users as it offers superior performance and better concurrency.

How to enable SSO

1. Contact your Digicast representative to add this feature to your commercial agreement
2. Provide the required information depending on the protocol you want to use to itops@digicast.ca
3. Wait for approval
4. Test with your credentials with our testing environment
