Integrate Freshservice

Freshservice is cloud-native IT service desk software developed by Freshworks. See https://www.freshworks.com/.  You can protect access to Freshservice by integrating Freshservice with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Freshservice account through Identity as a Service.  

Note: This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.31 and Freshservice Trial version July 2023. Other versions of Freshservice may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Freshservice, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating Freshservice. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.
