Background

The Assertion Consumer Service URL (ACS URL) is the address where an IdP redirects the user after they've successfully authenticated. In other words, it's the address where your learner is redirected after they've signed in through your SSO provider.

SkillSync has updated the ACS URL in its current interface to enable features such as Account Provisioning.

Updating Your ACS URL

If the ACS URL in your IdP is currently https://company.myabsorb.com/account/saml, it should be updated in order for your portal to make use of new and upcoming features (e.g. Account provisioning).

The format for the new ACS URL is as follows:

https://company.myabsorb.com/api/rest/v2/authentication/saml

Where company.myabsorb.com is your portal's URL.
