Trimble ID Federation

Trimble ID federation allows an organization to use their existing enterprise identity provider (IdP) to log in to Trimble ID; the Trimble Unity Maintain and Permit user is federated directly with the enterprise identity provider. Trimble ID federation can be created with most established enterprise identity provider (IdP) solutions, such as Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), ADFS, Okta, Google, using either Open ID Connect (OIDC) or SAML protocols.

Separately, the Trimble GIS integration allows a user to log in once with Trimble ID and then use the resources from their GIS infrastructure without logging in again to ArcGIS. This feature is completely independent of Trimble ID federation status; it can be used regardless of whether it’s a native Trimble ID user or a federated Trimble ID user.

NOTE: Trimble ID federation and/or GIS integration is different from the traditional Single Sign-on, which allowed users to log in to Trimble Unity using their ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS credentials. See Traditional Single Sign-on through ArcGIS Credentials for more information.
