Use the Login Page Management tool to customize the login page for your organization.
Administrators can create a single sign-on option on their Brightspace login page. The Login Page Management tool provides the ability to add single sign on buttons within the Login Widget based on registered SAML identity providers. Using this feature reduces the complexity of creating a single sign-on link or button and removes the dependency on having to modify the HTML code underpinning the login page.
The Manage Single Sign-On Buttons permission enables the visibility of the Single Sign-on Buttons card within the Login Page Management Admin tool. After the permission has been granted, the Display Single Sign-On Button settings appear under the Advanced Settings area.

The Display Options button enables you to configure the button settings including the text, button color, text color, the Identity Provider and Button URL, and Login Page visibility.

Note: If the Identity Provider was registered using the client self-serve version of SAML Administration, the Button preview displays the SAML Identity Display Name provided when you registered the Identity Provider. If it wasn't registered using the client self-serve version, it displays the Identity Provider Entity ID. If there are more than one Identity providers registered, the Display Single Sign-on Button area displays them. You can change the order to reflect how you want the list to appear on Login page.

Note: If there is no Identity Provider, the Display Single Sign-On Buttons option does not appear.
Shorten an organization's local login page URL
Administrators can use a shortened URL to access an organization’s learning platform from the local login page. The shortened web URL uses the following syntax: https://{hostname}/d2l/local.
The shortened web URL maps to the longer version of the URL, https://{hostname}/d2l/login?noredirect=1, and is available for all environments.
