How do I login to e-Builder using Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that enables users to securely access e-Builder and other internal applications by using just one set of credentials.
If you access e-Builder through single sign-on (SSO) and you are unable to login, please contact your internal e-Builder administrator or IT department for assistance.
How do I login to e-Builder using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an extra layer of security required by some customers when users log into e-Builder.
MFA users need to have an authentication app downloaded to their mobile device. The user syncs the app with e-Builder, and then receives a randomly generated code that must be entered each time the user logs in to confirm their identity.
For step-by-step instructions on initializing MFA, please refer to our online help.
There are many authentication apps available from the Apple Store and Google Play, but not all of them will support the security protocol used by e-Builder.
The following authentication apps have been tested by e-Builder to work correctly with our current login sequence. Since apps are constantly in development, you may have a different result with the most current version of any app.
When I try to log in, I receive an error that states “The entered login credentials are currently being used for multiple sessions. Please log out of one or more of the sessions to continue”—how do I regain access to e-Builder?
Individual users will be limited to 2 concurrent login sessions with the same username and password credentials.
A session is considered open unless the user logs out. Users who exit e-Builder without logging out (such as closing the browser window) may end up with extra open sessions. All open sessions will expire after 60 minutes of inactivity.
If a user is unable to log in due to too many open sessions and cannot wait the 60 minutes for the existing open sessions to close, the user may contact e-Builder technical support to have the sessions terminated.
