Use Single Sign-on (SSO) with the Excel Add-in

In series 4 of the Excel Add-in, you can use Single Sign-On (SSO) to sign in. 

The add-in:

You might need your SSO Friendly URL to use SSO. Your tenant administrator can provide this.

The process to use SSO differs based on whether SSO Authentication is enabled or disabled in the selected authentication setting. 

For customers on the Canada Prod environment, you'll need to disable Universal Login or use Anaplan for Microsoft 365. You can sign in with your Anaplan credentials or single sign on (SSO). 

Universal login with SSO does not work for classic or legacy SSO connections.

To use SSO when SSO Authentication is enabled:

  1. On the Anaplan ribbon, select Sign In.
  2. Select Log in with Sign Sign On (SSO).
  3. Select your SSO credentials.

To use SSO when SSO Authentication is disabled:

  1. On the Anaplan ribbon, select Sign In.
  2. Select Use Single Sign-on.
    If your authentication setting does not have an SSO Friendly URL entered, select Edit your SSO Friendly URL and enter your SSO Friendly URL.
  3. Select Continue.
    After you sign in with SSO for the first time, the add-in appends ?svcId=auth to the SSO Friendly URL. Do not remove this, it's required for technical reasons.
  4. Enter your SSO credentials.
