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.

- In Network, type the name your your PBworks network.
- In Secret, insert the secret key provided by your PBworks representative in the steps above.
- Select roles to which this application should be available.
- Click Update.
User configuration
- Click People, then Users.
- Click Edit next to a user you'd like to setup for PBworks.
- Scroll down to the logins, and click edit next to PBworks.
- In Email, type the email address the user is signed up with in PBworks.

And you're done.
