Single Sign On via Active Directory Federation Services

4.6 Release (March 2014) Updates


The workflow to the left is a generic representation of

2 possible scenarios for users attempting to sign

into an Emerge.MD application with their

corporate Active Directory account.

This workflow is considered a “registration and linking” workflow and is not meant to illustrate the workflow

for users who have already linked their accounts.


Case 1: User Logs in for 1st Time w/ ADFS & Links Existing OnePass Account



When a user navigates to the login page of their Emerge.MD website there will be your corporate

ADFS link available.



If a similar page is displayed, the user should login w/ their corporate credentials.If the user is logged into a workstation WITHIN the network this page will

automatically “pick up” those credentials and authenticate them against the logged in account.



Because this is the 1st time the user is logging into their Emerge.MD application they will be asked to “link” their AD account w/ their OnePass account. Note the message, “We have noticed you have an account…”. That only displays if AD passes an e-mail address that is in the OnePass database. Otherwise, the user will see a message asking them to

sign in if they have a OnePass account and will also have an option to create a OnePass account.Typically as part of Emerge.MD’s implementation process most users will already have a bulk uploaded account w/

generic password that can be used here. The purpose of this step is so that the user knows their OnePass password and it also allows access to the OnePass

mobile application for secure messaging.



Once the user links their existing OnePass account they’ll be asked to review their demographics page. Here the user can update their e-mail address and fill in other relevant information such as contact

preferences.



After the user completes their demographics they will be redirected back to the appropriate Emerge.MD application URL.

Note, if this was a new OnePass user who had to create and then link a OnePass account (vs. bulk upload or pre-existing) then further group provisioning may be necessary by

administrators in order to allow proper access to the application features.



Case 2: User Logs in for 1st Time w/ ADFS & Creates new OnePass Account



When a user navigates to the login page of their Emerge.MD website there will be your corporate

ADFS link available.



If a similar page is displayed, the user should login w/ their corporate credentials.If the user is logged into a workstation WITHIN the network this page will

automatically “pick up” those credentials and authenticate them against the logged in account.



Because this is the 1st time the user is logging into their Emerge.MD application they will be asked to “link” their AD account w/ their OnePass account. Because the user did not pass an recognized e-mail address in the OnePass database we simply ask the user if they have a OnePass

account and also give them the option to create a new account.

Typically as part of Emerge.MD’s implementation process most users will already have a bulk uploaded account w/ generic password that can be used here.

The purpose of this step is so that the user knows their OnePass password and it also allows access to the OnePass mobile application for secure messaging.



If the user doesn’t have a OnePass account and chooses to create one they’ll be asked to choose a username/password combo and

agree to terms of use. Once the account is created it is automatically linked to their AD account.



The user will also be asked to create/review their demographics page. Here the user can update their e-mail address and fill in

other relevant information such as contact preferences.



The user will be asked to agree to the terms of use for their Emerge.MD application.



After the user completes their demographics they will be redirected back to the appropriate Emerge.MD application URL.

Note, because this was a new OnePass user their profile will be the default profile (groups) based on the site settings. Administrators may need to add the user to additional groups

depending on use case.
