Sandbox Accountsection and there you will find all the required parameters that you have to provide within the OAuth setup page from the Admin. - Provide the required parameters in the Setup OAuth2 dialog:
Client Id- Client Id provided from the Authorization Server.Client Secret- Client Secret provided from the Authorization Server.Log-in page- Authorization Server OAuth log-in page.Scope- One or more scope values indicating which parts of the user\s account you wish to access.State- A random string generated by the Ecrion Platform, which will be verified later.Get access token URL- Endpoint from the Resource Server, where the Authorization Code is exchanged for an Access Token.Get user info URL- Endpoint from the Resource Server, where user information is gathered.Authorization Type- The token sent using the authorization type.Create users if not exist- Enable this option to allow the Ecrion Platform to automatically create the user if it does not exist. Otherwise, the user mappings will be updated.Revoke access token URL- The token sent when the authentication request is revoked.Enabled- Check this option to enable the OAuth as a new identity provider.
- Once you're ready, click
Save.
Logging In using OAuth
- If everything works as expected, you will be provided with all the OAuth configurations page. For testing, you should select
Log-In Now Using OAuth. - The log-in URL should look like below:
http(s)://{Hostname|IPAddress:PortNumber}/security/oauth2/login?environment={EnvironmentName}&relayState={returnEOSURLEncoded}
where:
- Hostname|IPAddress - is the Ecrion Server. (e.g. companyABC.ecrion.com)
- EnvironmentName - is the Environment name where the OAuth was configured. (e.g. Development).
- RelayState - is the return URL after the OAuth2 authentication is finished successfully. (e.g. https://companyABC.ecrion.com/EOS/EprEditor?embed=true&path=#workspace/Default/Retail/Invoice.epr)
Note
- If the user is already logged in the OAuth login page, it will automatically redirect the user to the Return URL.
- If you are going to use OAuth or Single Sign-On to authenticate the user, then the accessToken is not required in the URL, since it will be generated automatically when calling the OAuth Login Page.
Example: Below is an example of the OAuth Login page with Return URL to Online Editor embedded:
https://companyABC.ecrion.com/security/oauth2/login?environment=Development&relayState=https%3A%2F%2FcompanyABC.ecrion.com%2FEOS%2FEprEditor%3Fembed%3Dtrue%23workspace%2FDefault%2FRetail%2FInvoice.epr
-

SSO
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process that allows users to enter one set of credentials and access multiple applications. The process authenticates the user for all the applications they have been given rights to and eliminates further prompts when they switch applications during a session
Setting up the Single Sign-On(SSO) solution in Ecrion Admin provides authorized access to users through a simple and easy process, using only one set of credentials.
When comes of configuring SSO with SAML or WS-Fed protocols, Admin comes with a friendly setup assistant and a series of well-defined steps for SSO configurations. The Single Sign-On process can be enabled on the Admin or Customer Portal websites.
In this section, you can find step-by-step instructions on how to configure and use Single Sign-On within Ecrion Admin.
- To access the SSO Settings, use
SSOfrom the Configuration section.
Configuring Single Sign-on
The Single Sign-On process consists of creating a trusted relationship between the Identity Provider and the Ecrion Admin. Once the relationship is available, the user(s) can easily authenticate to the Identity Provider website and access the Service Provider application in a secure way.
Ecrion Admin offers two ways to use SSO:
- SSO with Security Assertion Markup language (SAML 2.0).
- SSO with Web Services Federation (WS-Federation)
Notes
Creating a Single Sign-on connection requires the following:
- Setup an Application or a Relying Party Trust on the Identity Provider side.
- Configure the web.config file on the Ecrion Website on which you want to enable Single Sign-On. This configuration is necessary only for SSO WS-Federation configurations. Please contact your implementation manager or support@ecrion.com for more details.
- Setup a Single Sign-on connection within Enterprise Website using the SSO Wizard.
- Create Mapping Rules and synchronize Ecrion Fields with Identity Provider attributes
- Verify the Single Sign-on configuration.
Step 1: Provide Information to your Identity Provider
Start by configuring the Application or the Party Trust on the Identity Provider side. While setting up SSO on the IdP side, you will need to provide the Ecrion ACS URL to your IdP. This provides the location to which the SSO Token will be sent, and it can be copied from the first step of the Ecrion SSO Wizard.
For more information, please refer to the Identity Provider documentation for the correct syntax or contact your Ecrion Implementation Manager for assistance.
Step 2: Set up Single Sign-on
Once the Identity Provider has finished configuration of the Single Sign-On process, to create the setup within Ecrion Admin, you will need to follow the SSO wizard provided by the app. Below you can see a reference on how to fill out the SSO form wizard.
- Start by accessing the Single Sign-On page and selecting the Ecrion Admin URL endpoint on which you want to enable SSO:
- Setup Enterprise SSO: to configure SSO on the Admin app.
- Setup Portal SSO: to configure SSO on the Customer Portal Website.
- The first step in the dialog wizard asks you to select the Identity Provider you may want to use for the connection. You can choose between:
- Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML 2.0).
- Web Services Federation Language (WS-Federation).
- Next, to establish a single sign-on connection through the protocol chosen before, fill out the form with the mandatory information received from your Identity Provider.
- ACS URL: This provides the location to which the SSO tokens will be sent. In our case, is the location to the Ecrion Admin. Select Copy to Clipboard from the right side and paste the URL link to the required Identity Provider configuration box.
- IdP Login URL: Enter the URL associated with logging in to the Identity Provider address. Login URL is used when a user attempts to log in with SSO. Ecrion triggers a redirect to the URL and expects a POST request. In response, the Ecrion Platform produces an Ecrion access token for the assertion subject and redirects the now authenticated user to the Admin Homepage.
The URL needs to be provided by your Identity Provider. Please note that each IdP setup is unique and it is important to add the correct URL generated by the IdP application, to ensure availability and integrity of your configuration. - IdP Logout URL: Optionally, you can provide a logout URL from your Identity Provider. This will validate the request to the IdP.
Please make sure the URL entered is the correct link generated by the application set up for Ecrion Admin. - Signing Certificate: this field is available only for the SAML 2.0 protocol.
SelectChoose Fileto navigate the file system and upload the Signing Certificate issued by your identity provider. This will establish a trusted relationship between the Service Provider and the Identity Provider.
If your Identity Provider has generated multiple certificates, you will need to use the same certificate as the one used when configuring the IdP application. Otherwise, you will be prompted with an invalid SAML error.
Once ready, select Next to go to the Mapping step.
Step 3: Create Mapping Rules
The next step allows you to set up mappings connections that allows you to synchronize the Ecrion Admin with the Identity Provider. Note that the mappings need to be done on both, Ecrion Admin and IdP application/relying trust.
To map fields within Ecrion SSO Wizard, use the following steps:
* Select the +Add new mapping link.
* Select the available user profile fields from the drop down list, then enter in the related empty field, the correspondent Identity Provider attribute issued for mapping.
* For Admin, by default, the user will not have any rights. To provide any rights for the users, you need to include them in Groups. To do this, map the correspondent group field from the IdP to the Groups field. By default, the application provides two groups for which you can create synchronization: Administrators and Everyone.
Once ready, select Save and continue.
Step 4: Verify the Single Sign-on configuration
In the end, if the setup was correct, you will be able to view a notification such as:
Enterprise SSO has been successfully configured with {IdP Name}
To ensure that the Single Sign-On is set correctly, select the Login now using SSO. You will be redirected to the Identity Provider Sign In page. Log in to the IdP website.
- If the configuration was set up properly, you will be logged in to the Ecrion Admin/Customer Portal website.
- If the configuration failed, review the setup steps and use the link displayed in the
How to usebox to authenticate. It should look like below:
http://{hostname|IPAddress|:{Port Number}/Security/Login?environment={EnvironmentName}&RelayState={returnEOSURLEncoded}
where:
- Environment : is the environment name on which you want to login with SSO. (Required)
- RelayState : is the return URL after the SSO authentication is successfully. (Optional)

Domains
All the domains trackers added in Domains Settings are visible and can be managed from Internal Settings.
Visitors
From the Visitors page you can manage and keep evidence of how many users interact with your website before they register. We called a visitor a user that access your website without logging in.
Visitors are tightly bound to the user's domain tracking feature available in Domain settings. This feature implies storing visitors in a database, where you can save meaningful information about them. When a visitor is completing a Lead Generation Form in Leads, the data will be stored within Contact Information. For more details, please visit the Leads Guide.
Working with this type of users is limiting in some ways, because there are not many things you know for sure about them, but there are certain data you can store, such as:
- the location from where they are accessing your website,
- the device they are using,
- the web campaign parameters from a data location,
- the timestamp and the address of the first visited web page.
All the data you want to store can be configured from the Domains Settings page.
If tracking is enabled on your domain, all visitors that are not registered will be recorded by trackers. Ecrion Admin allows environment administrators to track the actions of your anonymous users by selecting the Visitors page within Internal Settings.
Viewing Visitors

Activity Filter, next to Date, and check the assets for which you want to display users actions. - Ecrion Admin provides conversion of the anonymous users that visit portal and complete the Lead Generation Form, to tracked-users (leads) that can be considered potential clients. Further they can be monitored and managed under the Journeys app. Therefore, any data collected on that user persisted in the account of the newly-registered user.
