Set up IAM authentication

Use the IAM (identity and access management) Authentication page to enable an external identity provider (IdP) to authenticate Calabrio ONE sessions, enable direct login using Calabrio ONE's IAM service, or enable multi-factor authentication.

The IAM Authentication page is only available for Cloud deployments of Calabrio ONE.

If you are using an external identity provider, see Configure SAML authentication to learn how to configure your organization’s IdP prior to using this page to enable your IdP connection to Calabrio ONE.

Multi-factor authentication is a method in which a user is granted access to a website after successfully proving their identity using at least two means of verification. Calabrio ONE multi-factor authentication uses a login password and an email of a one-time password to verify a user's identity and grant them access to Calabrio ONE. The following workflow details what happens when a user attempts to login once multi-factor authentication is configured.

  1. The user successfully enters their email and password on the login page.

  2. The user receives an email from Calabrio ONE that contains their one-time password.

  3. The user enters their one-time password on the login page and is successfully authenticated.
