Amplify offers two district login customizations:
Custom District Single Sign-On (SSO) - Log in to any Amplify products using credentials provided by your district or state.
Custom District Login Page - Customize your login screen with only the login buttons that your district uses.
Custom District SSO
With SSO, you can log in to any Amplify products—mCLASS, CKLA 2nd Edition, Boost, Amplify Science, Amplify ELA, Amplify Math—using credentials provided by your district or state. SSO can be implemented in one of two ways for your district or state:
District Portal: Your educators and students log into the district/state portal using their district/state credentials and then access their Amplify products by clicking a tile within the portal or by navigating to the Amplify login page, where they will be logged in automatically.
Amplify login: Your educators and students can navigate to the Amplify login page, click District SSO, and select the district. They are then sent to your district/state login page to enter their district/state credentials. This process is only necessary once; after one successful login, Amplify stores their district selection in the browser’s cache.
Amplify supports SAML 2.0 authentication. Our current SSO integrations include ADFS 2.0/3.0, Google, Microsoft Online, and Stoneware.
To set up your district SSO:
Contact help@amplify.com to request SSO integration.
Amplify will request answers to the following questions:
When do you hope to go live with SSO?
Will students and teachers be using SSO?
Describe how you want teachers and students to log in to Amplify (e.g., log in directly from Amplify or click links in an LMS).
When teachers and students log out of Amplify, do you want them also logged out of your IDP?
What is the official district name that should display on the Amplify login screen?
With which Amplify products is the district looking to use SSO?
To establish an SSO connection between the district and Amplify, both parties must exchange a metadata file:
Your district’s tech team will send Amplify your metadata URL or file.
In return, the Amplify team sends our metadata to the district.
Request: Amplify prefers to receive a test user (enrolled with Amplify), so we can monitor the district SSO connection throughout its lifespan.
Once the Amplify Customer Care and Support team has received the requested information, we can set up our side of the configuration.
Your district will also need to configure SSO. Should you need support, Amplify can set up a follow-up call to walk you through the process.
Note: Please anticipate a 5-day SLA for SSO configuration.
Custom District Login Page
District administrators can request Custom district login pages by emailing help@amplify.com. Once requested, Amplify support will turn on the requested login buttons and provide a personalized district login URL.
Your district might use custom login if you use:
Amplify credentials to log in
The Admin Portal
The default Amplify Login page to log in
Your district administrators can share the URL with teachers and students. The URL will be customized to your district. For example:
my.amplify.com/login/amplify-custom-district-login
The login link is available immediately. For any updates, clear your cache or wait 24 hours for the change to take effect.
