Overview
SSO simplifies the user experience by reducing the number of passwords a user needs to remember. It also improves security by centralizing authentication and allowing for easier enforcement of security policies like MFA.
How it Works
SSO relies on a trusted relationship between an Identity Provider (IdP) and Service Providers (SPs). When a user logs in to the IdP, a token is generated that allows them to access all authorized SPs.
Benefits
- Improved User Productivity: Fewer logins and password resets.
- Enhanced Security: Centralized control and reduced password fatigue.
- Simplified Administration: Easier to manage user access across multiple apps.
