SSO Summary

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID to any of several related, yet independent, software systems. In this case, SSO is used to log to the Insights portal using Lighthouse Business Manager (LBM).

LBM-to-Insights Provisioning Process

As part of the transition strategy, SSO access to Insights will no longer be provided for net new EU SkyTab Merchants from July 1st, 2025.
Merchants who were previously set up with SSO access from Lighthouse Business Manager to Insights will continue to have that access, and they can still use all available features within Lighthouse Business Manager, for example, Transaction Manager, Dispute Manager, or Adjustments and Settlement Reporting.

The PayByLink feature remains exclusive to the Insights platform and is not yet integrated into Lighthouse Business Manager. For any merchant inquiries regarding PayByLink, please escalate to the Client Relations Team at [e-mail].

How Does the SSO Work?

SSO works based upon a trust relationship set up between an application, known as the service provider (Insights), and an identity provider (LBM). This trust relationship is often based upon a certificate that is exchanged between the identity provider and the service provider. This certificate can be used to sign identity information that is being sent from the identity provider to the service provider so that the service provider knows it is coming from a trusted source. In SSO, this identity data takes the form of tokens that contain identifying bits of information about the user like a user’s email address or username.
