MPG Single Sign-On (SSO) integration into Minerva Messenger

MPG Single Sign-On (SSO) simplifies login by allowing secure authentication with a single set of credentials from your MPG institution. Below are detailed instructions on getting started with SSO, switching login methods, and managing your profile information.

For New Users:

If your institute is listed in the MPG SSO directory, you can log in directly with your SSO account.

Step 1: Select your MPG organization from the list on the login screen.

Step 2: Log in with your SSO credentials.

Note: If your entity is not listed, please contact your local IT support for further assistance.

For Existing Users:

Switching to SSO is simple and can be done at any time.

Step 1: Go to User Profile > Security > Sign-in Method.

Step 2: Select Switch to Using SAML SSO.

Tip: You can also switch back to a username/password login at any time. Follow the same steps and select Switch to Use Email and Password to reset your password and return to your previous login method.

Important Notes:

Profile Information: Upon using SSO, your First, and Last Name will be imported from the MPG SSO system and displayed in your profile. Your Username will be derived from your email.

These three fields are not editable if you use SSO login. If you want to be found in the Minerva Messenger under your old Username, you can put it in the Nickname field (User Profile > Profile Settings).

Note: You can customize the Name Display setting according to your preference by navigating to Settings > Display > Teammate Name Display and selecting the desired option.

Access to Minerva Messenger:

Please note that SSO login restricts access to Minerva Messenger. Leaving MPG will automatically revoke your access to Minerva Messenger if you are logged in via SSO but your account will not be deactivated automatically.
