Sign-in Process

A logged-in Web Office user clicks the SSO link, which calls the DirectScale server, and generates a link to the external application with a short-lived token substituted in the URL. The browser then redirects to the external application with the DirectScale token added to the URL. The external application calls the DirectScale API to get the user information from the token. The Public API endpoint it uses is https://dsapi.directscale.com/v1/sso/?token={token}

The external application returns its page to the Associate with the session established.
