Step 6: Test SSO for Personas

**update URLs shared with teachers and staff. you no longer need pw.html https://nwoesc.ps.nwoca.org/teachers/pw.html

After mapping the users from the identity provider to the PowerSchool SIS, test the SSO connection between your identity provider and the PowerSchool SIS as the service provider. To test a persona, enable OIDC authentication and then verify that you can sign in tothe respective portal. Be sure to test each persona in another browser or using an incognito window before ending your current session.

Enabling OIDC authentication for users without also defining Global Identifiers for users will prevent users from being able to sign in.

1. In PowerSchool SIS for Administrators, navigate to the OIDC Authentication page.

2. Select Enable OIDC Authentication for the persona you want to test. It is recommended that you first test teachers, then parents, then students, and finally staff.

3. Click OK.

4. Click Submit, but do not close the window.

5. Based on your Step 3 selection, choose the user you want to test.

6. Open a new private browser window.

7. Based on your Step 3 selection, enter the URL of your district's PowerSchool SIS Teacher, Student and Parent, or Admin portal and press ENTER or RETURN. The PowerSchool SIS portal should redirect to the IdP's sign-in page.

8. Sign in with the user's credentials. For teacher, parent, and student, if the PowerSchool SIS portal launches, the setup has been configured properly. For staff, if the PowerSchool SIS Admin portal launches and you are expelled from your first session, as you are only allowed one session at a time, the setup has been configured properly.

9. For parent, and student, open the PowerSchool Mobile app. Sign in with the user's credentials.
