Solution description

  1. The customers IT dep. must establish SSO trust. They must assign all the users that should participate in the trust to Mercell before the SSO can work. (Additional users can be added later.)They also need to secure correct settings for the SSO relaying trust.)

  2. The customers IT dep. Insert your SSO-info. (This is filled in, as described in the next slides, so the SSO will get activated from the customer side. This can easily be done by the customer themselves with their IT department.)

  3. Now the Customer users can connect using SSO: This can be done in two ways: a) The customer can use an URL from Mercell to connect using their Intranet, which redirect them to their own familiar SSO server, where they must log in, if they are not already logged in. After this login, they are instantly and automatically logged into Mercell. b) The customer can click on any URL from Mercell or just the my.mercell.com address, where they will get the usual Sign-on picture form the Mercell Portal. Press the Single SignOn login button and then fill in their own mail address, click on the login button, which will redirect them to their own familiar SSO server, where they also must provide their password. Once they complete their login, then they are instantly and automatically logged into Mercell.

SSO Enforcement notice!

Please secure that all your user has been informed of the «SSO-Only» switchover, or they will see the screen below when they try to login manually without any success. (That is why it should be a planned date for going into production for all.)The same alert also happens, if you remove them from your local MS ADFS server.

    SSO: How to login?

If you usually use your corporate intranet for SSO login, then do as before.If you use an URL from Mercell, or connect directly to https://my.mercell.com/da-dk/m/logon/, then you only need to click on the button called: «SSO login».
You will then have to enter your e-mail address as used in your company and click «Login». You will then be redirected to your own local SSO server, for a password. "Remember me" checkbox can be used to ensure that when accessing Mercell.com user is redirected directly to your own local SSO server. If login fails at local SSO server, user can access this page again and make changes. After you entered your password inside your local corporate SSO server, then you will be redirected back to Mercell again, but you are now automatically logged into our portal. You arrive either at your usual starting homepage, or at the specific Mercell URL you originally clicked on the first time.
