Using SSO for Imagine Learning products

If you are a System Administrator, you can set up your school or district to use single sign-on (SSO) so that your students, educators, and administrators can log in to all their Imagine Learning products through an identity provider (IDP) such as Clever or ClassLink. For example, after signing in to Clever, students can then launch all their Imagine Learning products from the Clever dashboard. 

To set up SSO for Imagine Learning products

1. Meet the system requirements for your Imagine Learning products.
2. Use Automated Rostering to roster your students and educators. 

3. Configure your IDP (Clever, ClassLink, or a custom IDP) to connect to Imagine Learning. The IDP your district uses will determine how your connection to Imagine Learning products should be configured.

   IDP Type	Connection Requirements
   Clever	Add your Imagine Learning products and configure data sharing settings in Clever.  Note If you have already set up a Clever connection to roster Imagine Learning products, use that connection as your district or school SSO connection.
   ClassLink	Set up an SFTP connection and configure data sharing permissions in ClassLink.  Note If you have already set up a ClassLink connection to roster Imagine Learning products, use that connection as your district or school SSO connection.
   Other IDPs	Set up a custom SAML connection to connect to any other IDPs.

4. If you are using an SSO provider other than Clever, set up an SSO connection—also called a connection realm—for each product suite (either Literacy or Math) that you've purchased.
   
5. If you are using an IDP other than Clever, verify that your exported SIS data meets one of these data specifications for setting up an SFTP connection:
   • OneRoster® 1.1 files (for more information, see Setting up a OneRoster® integration)
   • Traditional rostering files for Literacy
   • Traditional rostering files for Math
   • Other file formats (as directed by Imagine Learning Customer Experience)
