PBworks configuration

Contact PBworks and ask them to enable delegated authentication for your account. Provide this URL:

Your PBworks representative will provide a shared secret that you'll use when setting up OneLogin.

  2. Search for PBworks. Click Add.
  3. In Authentication Method choose "API".
  4. In Logins, choose either "Configured by admin" or "Shared". Never choose "Configured by users" here, as that will enable users to assume each others identities in PBworks. 
  5.  In Domain, type the name of the domain you registered with PBworks. 
  6. In Network, type the name your your PBworks network. 
  7. In Secret, insert the secret key provided by your PBworks representative in the steps above.
