Single Sign-On(SSO) with Black Knight and Optimal Blue Credentials

Overview

As we continue with Black Knight integration efforts, legacy Optimal Blue corporate applications that utilize Single Sign-On(SSO) to authenticate will be transitioned to utilize your Black Knight credentials.  In general, the Microsoft Edge browser supports the utilization of two different SSO logins simultaneously.  However, Google Chrome experiences issues with this scenario. Please see the solutions provided below for information on options to address this issue.

You will see an error similar to the below if the application is attempting to utilize the wrong set of credentials:

Quick Tips

TIP #1: You should always be connected to VPN (Pulse Secure).

TIP #2: If you see a sign-on screen that displays the Black Knight image, utilize your Black Knight credentials.

TIP #3: Should you experience the issue above, you can simply log out of your SSO credentials by utilizing the “SMT Bookmarks…SSO Log Out” browser bookmark. Once logged out, try to access your application again. The browser should ask you for credentials again.

TIP #4: In general, Microsoft Edge is more effective in supporting multiple logins. We suggest setting Edge as your default browser.

TIP #5: One option is to utilize Google Chrome for Optimal Blue SSO Websites and Microsoft Edge for Black Knight SSO Websites (or vice versa).

TIP #6: If you need to reset your Black Knight credentials, please visit https://ssp.bkfs.com. Should you have issues with this site, we strongly suggest calling the BK support desk (904.854.4357) instead of emailing them.

TIP #7: Do not ignore the Password Reset emails!!
