Applicant Tracking Enterprise Single Sign-On
Single sign-on authentication for administrative users is supported for Unified Talent Applicant Tracking Enterprise using an external identity provider, such as Google or Microsoft.
The following scopes are requested as part of this authentication: openid (indicates that the application is using OIDC), profile (user's information), email.
Prerequisites
- The identity provider must be supported. The certified identity providers are Microsoft and Google.
- Support for the OIDC standard. Mobile Apps require Authorization Code PKCE Flow support.
- User accounts must be provisioned for the identity provider.
- The Global ID field in Applicant Tracking Enterprise must match the selected Claim from the identity provider.

- In the identity provider, add the application registration and configure the OIDC application.
- Record the following information as you register the application:
- Client ID
