Single Sign On with Association Anywhere (ACGI)

Association Anywhere by ACGI is an Association Management System (AMS) typically used by scientific societies.  Fixed Scope can work with Association Anywhere's APIs to connect your system of record to a variety of other systems.

Many associations using Association Anywhere have been on the platform for over a decade.  When you used Fixed Scope to connect to another system there is no additional charge should you upgrade or move to another platform.

What do I need to get started?

Association Anywhere does not support a standard single sign on protocol, instead it requires you to create a login page / middleware page that can capture the username and password.  This middleware page can then transfer login to a well known system.

You give us:

  • Association Anywhere Endpoint for Login 
    Examples: (/f?p=STDSSA:101)

  • Association Anywhere Endpoint for Forgot Password 
    Examples: (/ssaauthmain.forget_password)

  • Association Anywhere Endpoint for Auth
    Examples: (/CENSSAWEBSVCLIB.AUTHENTICATION, /CENSSAWEBSVCLIB.DECRYPT_STR_XML, /CENSSAWEBSVCLIB.GET_CUST_INFO_XML)

  • Field mapping beyond Name, email, job title, company name, and acgi ID

  • Network Username / Network Password

  • Test accounts to ensure login works

We give you:

  • Firewall IP Address to provide to ACGI to ensure the middleware can connect

Of course you are connecting Association Anywhere to another system, let us know what system that is and we’ll tell you what we need from the other side as well on the first phone call.

How long does it take?

The process of setting up a single sign on with Association Anywhere  and another system is about 1 calendar week.  Here is what you can expect:

  • Fill out our Speak to a Developer form to let us know a bit about the project

  • We’ll then send a follow up email to cover what we need on our scoping call, this call can often happen the same day or next day

  • Once you confirm the scope and costs, the project will begin and we’ll ask for the necessary items to get started

  • From here it typically takes 7 days or less to deliver a fully working single sign on

Is there any ongoing cost?

Single Sign On integrations require us to host some middleware on your behalf.  There is a cost of $200/month for the first single sign on, and $25/month for each additional one you add.  This covers the cost of hosting along with any updates that need to happen (e.g. if you upgrade Association Anywhere, your hosting agreement with us covers the fees)
