In today’s fast-moving digital world, user experience and security are more important than ever. That’s why we’re excited to announce a major update: both our web and mobile applications, Eclipse Aura and Eclipse Online are transitioning to a new Single Sign-On (SSO) login flow. This change not only simplifies how users access our services but also strengthens security across all platforms. 

Here’s a look at what’s changing, why it matters and what users can expect.

Why Move to SSO?
Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to log in once with a single set of credentials to access all connected applications. It brings significant benefits:

• Simplified user experience: One username and password – that’s it.
• Increased Security: Centralised authentication with automated emails advising of unusual signing activity
• Easier Management: Both users and administrators gain better tools for managing access and permissions

What’s changing in the Eclipse Aura (web application)?
In our web application, users will now see a new login page designed specifically for SSO. After entering their credentials, they will be authenticated via our centralised identity provider. Once logged in, they'll have seamless access to all modules and features. 
For returning users, session management has been improved as well – meaning fewer interruptions and smother navigation across the platform.

What’s changing in the Eclipse Online (mobile application)?
The mobile application is also integrating the new SSO flow. When the users open the app, they’ll be directed to the new SSO login screen. After authentication, the app will securely store the session token, allowing users to stay logging in and experience more secure connections to services.

Security Enhancements
With the SSO system, we are implementing stronger security measures, including:

• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) support
• Enhanced Password Policies
• Centralised monitoring and alters for suspicious login activity

By consolidating login under a secure identity provider, you can respond faster to threats and provide better protection for your user accounts.

What Users Need to Do?
The transition is designed to be as smooth as possible. However, here’s what users should be aware of:

• Your applications will be auto updated to use the new version of our SSO system
• All users will need to login again using the new login flow
• Enable multi-factor authentication for an extra layer of security

We will be providing detailed instructions and support during the rollout and our help desk is ready to assist with any
