Single Sign-On (SSO)

A system where one login gives access to multiple applications.

By centralising identity management with SSO, you can reduce password fatigue and improve security across an organisation.

‍

Typical SSO processes:

‍

• Initial Login: Users attempt to access an application
• Redirection: Users log in to the IdP with their unique credentials.
• Token Issuance: If succesful, the IdP issues an authentication token.
• Access Granted: The token grants access to the application and other linked applications without any additional logins

‍

The most effective SSO strategies include MFA, role-based permissions, and centralised identity management that scales with the business.
