What is Single Sign On (SSO)?

SSO is a centralized authentication scheme that allows users to log in to several software systems with a single username and password. For our users, it allows for leveraging their existing Identity Provider to sign into our app.

Our SSO implementation uses the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standard for exchanging identities between domains. Our application exchanges XML documents with the client's Identity Provider (Okta, Azure, etc) to securely authenticate and authorize users.

We provide secure access to our application through SSO by following a number of best practices such as enforcing session timeouts, using signed certificates and doing all transactions at the transport layer. We are using all existing non-proprietary and established technologies, providing added security through the use of digital signatures and certificates.
