2. Head into the Integrations tab and upload the IDP metadata.

4. Starting the App and login challenge

Starting the app

If you browse into your apps in google you should find DigiExam in the list. Click on it and it will take you to the login challenge for first-time use. 

Users that have registered accounts manually in DigiExam and then perform a Single Sign-On using SAML are challenged to enter their password once per organization to allow SSO. If they are connected to an umbrella organization they only need to sign on once and they get access to all underlying organizations.

The users only need to do this once and it is in place to prevent unauthorized access to user accounts by malicious identity providers.
