How to prepare for setting up Single Sign-on or SSO for your Mews account

Requiring only one set of login credentials for all accounts makes it easier and faster when you sign in on multiple applications. You can set up Single Sign-On in Mews.

Step 1: Find and provide user email domains  

To set up SSO in your Mews account, you need to provide all user email domains. Note: You need to provide the correct user domains for all users, including if you have multiple brands or use different email domains throughout different properties.

How to find your user email domains 

The email domain is the section of the email address after the @. For example, in the email address, [email protected], the email domain is mews.com.  

If you use multiple domains: For example, [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected], mews.co.uk, mews.com and mews.it are your email domains. 
If you use multiple brand names: For example, [email protected] and [email protected], prop1.brand.com and prop2.brand.com, are your email domains.

Step 2: Find and provide the proper IdP domain 

You need to provide the identity provider domain, or IdP. This is the main email domain you use to set up with your identity provider. It is possible that you have the same domain name set for both user email domains and IdP domain. For example, if you use Microsoft azure, it looks like mews.onmicrosoft.com.
