Thinkific Single Sign-On (SSO)


Thinkific SSO solution by miniOrange helps you simplify everyday teaching and learning experience for students, teachers, and staff by providing a seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) solution. With miniOrange’s ready-made SSO solution, users can authenticate themselves using their existing credentials and log into Thinkific. Users just have to click on a link and based on the Identity Provider or User stored configured in miniOrange are redirected to the appropriate login page / Identity Provider for authentication. After successful authentication, miniOrange constructs the necessary token and automatically redirects the user to Thinkific.

Thinkific deconstructs this payload and either finds the user and signs them in, or if they don’t already have an account on your Thinkific site, creates an account and signs them in. Using Single Sign-On (SSO) for Thinkific or any education platform will allow students, teachers, and administrators to instantly log in to these resources, with just a single login to the dashboard.
