Publication sites may be configured to use their organization’s OpenID Connect–compliant single sign-on (SSO) as an authorization mechanism when their users log in to Editorial Manager (EM). Visit the OpenID Connect website to learn more about their solutions.
When this option is enabled, users will be required to log in via the SSO. Users will be directed to the SSO login page when they click either the Login or Register links on a publication’s EM site or when they click a deep link in an email sent from EM.
When an OpenID Connect SSO is enabled, users are required to use the SSO for login. They will not see the standard EM login box or other options for login to EM.
At registration or login, the SSO passes email address, first name, and last name to EM. For new users, these fields are populated in EM during the registration process, and the new user then provides any additional information required for registration. For users with an existing EM account, the information is used to attempt to identify a matching record. EM sends a request for confirmation to the email address associated with the EM account, and after confirmation the user is fully logged in to EM. After the SSO account and the EM account are linked, users simply enter username and password for the SSO to complete login to EM.
Given/First Name, Family/Last Name, and Email Address fields will appear as grayed out (not editable) on Update My Information and Search People – Update Information pages. These fields are automatically synchronized at sign-on and can only be edited in the user’s SSO user profile.
Proxy registration cannot be used when an OpenID Connect SSO is enabled.
For more information and to enable this feature, contact your Aries Account coordinator.

No additional configuration is required. It is recommended that a system administrator review instructions displayed during registration and login to ensure that users are provided with the information they need.

Forgot Login Details Text: Text entered in this box is shown to users in the left column of the Account Finder page. This page will appear to users with an existing EM account when they log in for the first time after the SSO is enabled. The main area of the Account Finder page provides instructions to confirm the account and link it to the OpenID Connect account.
Other instructions configurable on this page will not be displayed to users when an SSO is enabled.
Go to PolicyManager > Edit Registration Instructions.
Instructions configured on this page are displayed to users registering on the publication's EM site after logging in via SSO.
