Good afternoon, we have a website created with a Vue.js framework and we are using Zendesk as a separate subdomain to collect users tickets.
We want our users to use their accounts of our website to login to Zendesk, so that users wouldn't have to have 2 different accounts for Zendesk and our website and woudn't need to signup one more time to have Zendesk account.
As a referrence to needed functionallity - we found a similar solution on the service https://kickstarter.com/ and https://help.kickstarter.com/, we need help in implementing similar functionality.
It would be great if you help me with implementing such thing or give me more details about that kind of stuff.

Hi Alex,

It sounds like what you need is to authenticate users via Single Sign-On (SSO). If you use single sign-on with JWT, a user is automatically verified and is then allowed to access Zendesk without being prompted to enter separate sign-in credentials. I recommend that you go through this documentation to learn how to implement this: Enabling JWT (JSON Web Token) single sign-on.

If you are using other identity provider services such as OneLogin or Okta, then you can use SAML for single sign-on. You can refer here for more information on this.

Thank you, Alex!
