  1. Yammer and Single Sign-on

  2. Audience and Requirements Audience: Yammer’s Single Sign-On (SSO) module is targeted at system administrators, system engineers, tech support, and self-service personnel. Implementing the Yammer Single Sign-on Module Requires: • A SSO server that can send SAML 1.1 or 2.0 assertions • An endpoint uniform resource identifier (URI), preferably one that can also be accessed from outside your network • An engineer familiar with configuring your SSO server

  3. Topics and Learning Objectives This deck covers the following topics about Yammer’s Single Sign-on module: • How SSO will affect your users’ experience • What you need to know about implementing Yammer’s SSO before going live After completing this course, you will be able to: • Describe Yammer’s integration with SSO and its benefits • Articulate Yammer’s SSO integration process to customers • Complete Yammer’s SSO Checklist and Rollout Communications Guide

  4. Single Sign-on Overview

  5. What Does Yammer’s SSO Module Do? SSO lets you quickly and easilyaccess Yammer in just one click from a single sign-on portal, where all your enterprise applications are already located. Yammer’s SSO server connects to your existingSAML-based SSO server to automatically log in your users based on your authentication mechanisms. User SAML SSO Server SSO Portal

  6. The Benefits of Single Sign-on SSO has a variety of benefits, a few of which are described below:

  7. What if I can’t use Single Sign-on? • SSO gives users a great experience. However, if you cannot implement SSO, Yammer provides user management capabilities: • Individually invite local users and out-of-network guests to join the network or use bulk import to add users from a .csv file • Deactivate users and choose to keep or delete their messages • Block users from joining the network • Delegate the ability to invite and manage users to others • View the activity of individual users • The above list highlights some of Yammer’s built-in user management capabilities. For more information on Yammer’s user management tools please see The Yammer Admin Guide.

  9. SSO Implementation Process • Yammer creates identity provider connection and imports customer metadata file • Yammer exports identity provider metadata to file and sends it to the customer • Customer creates a new service provider connection (relying party trust) on SSO server • Customer exports a metadata file (preferable) or provides the following to Yammer: • Entity ID • Endpoint URI • Public certificate • SAML version (1.1 or 2.0) • Customer tests new SSO configuration and lets Yammer’s Customer Success Team know if ready to leave on permanently • Customer imports metadata file in relying party trust • Customer emails Yammer’s Customer Success Team when ready to enable SSO • Yammer activates SSO for customer network

  10. User Experience on Yammer SSO After implementing SSO, a user logging into Yammer will have the following experience: • Users will log into their SSO Portal. • The SSO page will link the user to the SAML SSO server. • The user is now logged into Yammer and other SSO-enabled apps.
