Outseta is one of the OAuth2 SSO methods supported by Bettermode. Learn more about how OAuth2 SSO works and other OAuth2 SSO methods.
Use Outseta SSO to give your Bettermode members a seamless login experience with their Outseta credentials. Instead of signing up or logging in with a Bettermode account, your users will authenticate using Outseta credentials on your login page.
Required credentials to set up Outseta SSO
You'll need the following information from your Outseta account:
- Client ID (required): An alphanumeric string that identifies your application. It's used to build authorization URLs presented to users.
- Client Secret (required): A secret known only to your application and authorization server. It protects resources by granting tokens only to authorized requestors.
- Outseta Domain (required): The domain URL of your SSO provider (for example,
https://[your-subdomain].outseta.com/). - Login Button Text (required): The text that appears on your login page (for example, "Login with SSO").
- Callback URL (required): The URL where users are redirected after authentication completes.
