Xoxoday Empuls supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through both SAML 2.0 and OAuth2 protocols, integrating with your organisation’s Active Directory to enable seamless, credential-free employee authentication.
SAML 2.0 for Enterprise Identity Providers
For organisations running enterprise-grade identity providers, Xoxoday Empuls supports the SAML 2.0 protocol — the industry standard for secure, federated authentication. Setup involves a metadata exchange between your identity provider and Xoxoday Empuls, after which the integration is fully managed server-side. The configuration process typically completes within a few days, making it well suited to larger enterprises with established IT governance frameworks and security review processes.OAuth2 for Faster Deployment
Xoxoday Empuls also supports OAuth2, enabling a significantly faster SSO setup for organisations already on cloud identity providers. If your workforce authenticates through Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace, OAuth-based login can be activated almost immediately — no extended configuration window required. This makes OAuth2 an excellent choice for teams that want to deploy Xoxoday Empuls quickly and start driving engagement without delays.Real-World Configuration Examples
For a global workforce using Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory, Xoxoday Empuls can be connected via OAuth2 in a matter of hours. Organisations with Workday or SAP SuccessFactors as their system of record can layer SSO on top of their existing identity infrastructure, ensuring employees accessing Empuls rewards and recognition features never encounter a separate login prompt. This is especially valuable for distributed teams where login friction directly reduces adoption of engagement tools.Security and Compliance Benefits
Centralising authentication through SSO supports your organisation’s broader access management posture. A single sign-on approach reduces the attack surface associated with password proliferation and supports access control consistency — a requirement for organisations working toward compliance certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II. Xoxoday Empuls SSO configuration can be aligned with your existing identity governance policies, ensuring access is tied to your HR system’s lifecycle events such as onboarding and offboarding. Whether you choose SAML 2.0 for a policy-driven enterprise rollout or OAuth2 for a rapid cloud-first deployment, Xoxoday Empuls gives your IT team the flexibility to match your existing authentication architecture without compromise.
