Point of Sale Single Sign-On

Point of Sale Single Sign-On (SSO) lets users sign in with a single set of credentials and access components such as the Content Management System (CMS) and the POS app. Point of Sale supports common identity providers (IdPs), including OneLogin and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

Overview

Point of Sale uses these login concepts:

  • Authentication: Verifies a user’s identity (handled by your login provider/IdP).
  • Authorization: Grants the authenticated user access to Point of Sale (for example, by adding the user to the CMS user list and assigning the appropriate permissions).

Single Sign-On for CMS

  • Legacy CMS (non-Hyperforce): You can configure CMS SSO directly with supported IdPs such as OneLogin or Azure AD. For more information, see CMS OneLogin and Azure AD.
  • Hyperforce CMS: To enable SSO for CMS in Hyperforce, you must configure SSO through Salesforce Core. CMS then uses the Salesforce Core SSO configuration. For details on configuring Salesforce Core SSO, see Single Sign-On (SSO) in Salesforce Help.

After your administrator configures SSO through Salesforce Core, users sign in to Hyperforce CMS with these steps:

  1. Open your CMS link. You land on the Salesforce login page.
  2. Enter your company's custom domain, for example mycompany.
  3. Click Sign in with SSO.
  4. Enter your SSO credentials.

CMS signs you in.

Single Sign-On for POS

Store associates access the app using their existing credentials. Maintain associate records for role authentication within Point of Sale CMS. For offline functionality, merchants can provide associates with an offline password.
