How to Access and Use an SSO Link for Direct Test Entry with Self-Enrollment

The Single Sign-On (SSO) link enables candidates to securely access a test or testing session directly without manually navigating through the platform. This simplifies the login process, improves user experience, and reduces the risk of access issues.

Using SSO links provides several key benefits:

• Seamless access to tests with a single click
• Secure authentication through trusted identity providers (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Okta)
• Reduced login friction for candidates
• Faster onboarding for large groups of users
• Direct redirection to the correct test or testing session

This article explains how to obtain SSO links for signing into a test.
