This week let me take you through the steps to configure Single Sign-On for Zendesk. Once SSO is configured, users can access their Zendesk accounts with just their Active Directory or Microsoft Windows credentials. ADSelfService Plus also allows you to access Zendesk accounts with just a single click, from its web console.

Step 1: Configuring ADSelfService Plus

• Login to ADSelfService Plus web console with the administrator credentials.
• Navigate to Configuration --> Self-Service --> Password Synchronizer/ Single Sign-On link.
