Corporate Authentication in iDeals
One-Click Access to iDeals VDR with
Single Sign-On Integration
Tie iDeals Virtual Data Rooms to your SAML identity provider for Single Sign-On (SSO):
- Easily manage iDeals accounts via a corporate identity service.
- Eliminate the need to deal with multiple passwords.
- Enable the corporate users to instantly access VDR files from shared links without logging into iDeals.
Benefits of iDeals SSO Integrations:
Streamlined access
Eligible enterprise employees automatically receive access to all projects in the VDR with the the same set of credentials they use across all SSO-connected services.
Saving time
Once logged into the identity service, a user can instantly access the VDR by following a shared link to a document, folder, etc.
Additional access security and compliance
Restrictions to access the VDR from the outside of the corporate network depend on identity service’s configurations so as to comply with the company’s authentication policy.
Cost efficiency
SSO lets enterprises cut down on recovering lost passwords and reduce the time it takes their users to log into data room platform.
Enhanced protection of iDeals accounts
Absence of iDeals passwords eliminates the possibility of password breaches or thefts and ultimately prevents unauthorized access.
Centralized identity management
SSO administrator has absolute control over all enterprise identities and can instantly grant, change or revoke access for any user in their software environment including the iDeals VDR.
Simple deployment
The iDeals technical team accounts for the entire process of implementing the integration for you.
How SSO Works Under the Hood
iDeals integrates with corporate identity providers via SAML 2.0 or WS-Federation protocol.
*SAML protocol uses standard cryptography and digital signatures to pass a secure sign-in token from an identity provider of your choice to iDeals without affecting security.
