Brief Summary
Hi Everyone,
Please switch to using Xledger Single Sign-On. The Digital & Xledger team have already trialed logging onto Xledger using SSO.
What is SSO
Single sign-on (SSO) is an identification method that enables users to log in to multiple applications and websites with one set of credentials. SSO streamlines the authentication process for users. The credentials you use to log onto your Cobalt laptop.
Microsoft Authentication
An additional layer of security is incorporated to access the Cobalt financial system by using the Microsoft Authenticator application on your mobile device. The Authenticator challenge will be every 8 hours.
How to resolve
New Links to Access Xledger via Single Sign-On
The links take you to the Xledger Home Page no sign in required (username\password):
Recommendation is to save the links to your web browser favourites
Note: Save the exact link above to your favourites not the Xledger home page link
How to login
- From you computer Click on the Live or Demo Xledger SSO link (above)
- You will be presented with Cobalt sign in screen, Click “Sign in”
3. You will then be presented with an approval for the Microsoft Authenticator application like the screenshot below:
4. Using the Microsoft Authenticator Application on your Mobile Device, enter the number shown:
5. You are then logged in to Xledger and presented with the Xledger Home screen.
6. The next time you login (click on the link) you are presented with the Xledger Home screen straightaway as you have already authenticated, until the next Microsoft authentication set to every 8 hours as per point 2 to 4.
The old Xledger links will be turned off at some stage when we’re happy that all Xledger users can sign in via SSO. Disabling Xledger password logins (Xledger local username and password).
