Unfortunately, ClassLink does not allow for school/district specific links to be used for SSO. We double checked with our ClassLink rep and their response was:
“That is correct, this cannot be configured.
The best advice I'd offer is to push district users to reach your application primarily via the launchpad.”

Josh, thanks for checking with ClassLink. Could you clarify whether this limitation applies specifically to the SSO authentication process, or whether it also prevents adding a separate link on our JobReady360 login page that takes students directly to our district’s LaunchPad?
If accessing JobReady360 through LaunchPad is the recommended approach, could our login page help students get there directly?
The issue is that students already visiting our Area 31 JobReady360 page are sent to a district search where familiar names like Area 31, Ben Davis, and MSD of Wayne do not readily locate or lead to the correct login. That creates confusion, especially for career center students who identify with a different sending school and students participating in WBL off campus without immediate access to staff support.
If the existing SSO button cannot be changed, could we add a clearly labeled “Area 31 Students: Open ClassLink” button, that is linked to https://login.classlink.com/my/msdwayne, with instructions to select JobReady360 after signing in?
I understand there may be a limitation with the original implementation, but I’d appreciate keeping the request open to explore another way to address the underlying access issue for our students.
