Dashboard API Single Sign On

The Dashboard SSO API allows you to implement custom authentication schemes for the Dashboard and Portal. Our Tyk Identity Broker (TIB) internally also uses this API.

Generate authentication token

The Dashboard exposes the /api/sso Dashboard API which allows you to generate a temporary authentication token, valid for 60 seconds.

You should provide JSON payload with the following data:

ForSection - scope with possible values of "dashboard" or "portal"
OrgID - with your organisation id.
GroupID - the group id
EmailAddress - user email

Property	Description
Resource URL	`/api/sso`
Method	POST
Body	`{"ForSection":"<scope>", "OrgID": "<org-id>", "GroupID": "<group-id>"}`

Sample Request

POST /api/sso HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:3000
authorization:7a7b140f-2480-4d5a-4e78-24049e3ba7f8
    
{
  "ForSection": "dashboard",
  "OrgID": "588b4f0bb275ff0001cc7471",
  "EmailAddress": "[email protected]",
  "GroupID": ""
}

Sample Response:

{"Status":"OK","Message":"SSO Nonce created","Meta":"YTNiOGUzZjctYWZkYi00OTNhLTYwODItZTAzMDI3MjM0OTEw"}

See Single Sign On documentation for how to use this token and more details.
