Authentication

Tulip provides three types of authentication for clients to facilitate a seamless experience while ensuring that the highest security standards are provided.

1. Tulip Internal Authentication#

Retailers who do not employ Enterprise SSO, can use Tulip’s internal authentication to create usernames and passwords for their employees.

2. SAML 2.0#

Tulip provides SAML 2.0 support for client IT systems to act as a centralized login service for Tulip Apps – as opposed to creating separate accounts within Tulip to login. With this method, the retailer’s existing identity provider system is used to facilitate a secure integration while increasing Tulip’s efficiency to launch for new clients.

3. OpenID Connect 1.0#

Tulip provides an internal authentication mechanism using the OpenID Connect 1.0 protocol to provide a consistent way for applications to connect with Tulip Cloud. Existing OpenID Connect client libraries can be used which lowers the cost of integrating third-party services.
