Life Suite Login

The Life Suite Login is an optional, add-on feature that allows for a unified login to all Life Suite solutions. When installed and enabled, users can use their Life Suite Login credentials to access any Life Suite solution they have permission to without re-authenticating. Users have only one set of Life Suite credentials to remember, eliminating the need to remember multiple passwords or request support for forgotten passwords.

Unlike SSO with your own IdP or Global GetSession, Life Suite Login can only provide access to Life Suite modules and Talent Apps. There is no ability with Life Suite Login to give access to other non-SilkRoad-affiliated applications as you would be able to with your own authentication.

The Life Suite Login can be combined with one or more IdPs as need to provide an authentication mechanism for all users. As an example, a customer might have all employees using SSO with a SAML 2.0 supported IdP and then have all contractors authenticate via Life Suite Login. Another example might have all US employees using SSO while non-US employees use the Life Suite Login because they are not stored in a US-based IdP.
