Overview

Single Sign-On (SSO) on HackerRank for Work can be configured using efficient and productive Identity providers such as OneLogin.

The OneLogin SSO portal ensures that only authorized users get access to sensitive data. Users have to enter only one set of credentials to access apps in the cloud and behind the firewall – through desktops, smartphones, and tablets. With SAML, OneLogin SSO proves helpful in securely logging users into HackerRank for Work either through the OneLogin portal or over your corporate intranet.

This article is a quick guide about configuring SSO on HackerRank with OneLogin. To know about SSO and its benefits, refer to the article Getting started with SSO.

Note: HackerRank accepts only the user's email address. In the setup, the user defines the SAML assertion with the necessary data. HackerRank SSO fails if it receives anything other than an email address.

Prerequisites

  • You must have an active HackerRank for Work account with Company admin access.
