Learn how to integrate your cloud ebook or library with FusionAuth, for a better user login experience.

What is FusionAuth

FusionAuth provides secure SSO (Single Sign-On) on the cloud, linking all your apps, logins, and devices into a unified space. It gives access to many applications with a single login.

After enabling FusionAuth SSO, FusionAuth users will be able to seamlessly log into your library or cloud ebook without entering a password, under one of these two conditions:

  • They are already added as users to your library or cloud ebook manually (e.g. through Kotobee Author)
  • You have your library or cloud ebook enabled for self-registration
