Single Sign-On
Add Single Sign-On (SSO) for all Identity Providers to your app with a single integration
Single Sign-On (SSO) is the most frequently asked for requirement by enterprise organizations looking to adopt new SaaS applications. SSO enables authentication via an organization’s Identity Provider (IdP), such as Google Workspace or Okta, as opposed to users or IT admins managing hundreds, if not thousands, of usernames and passwords. Facilitate greater security, easier account management, and accelerated application onboarding and adoption by adding SSO to your app.
The WorkOS SSO API is modeled to meet the OAuth 2.0 framework specification, abstracting away the underlying authentication handshakes between different IdPs. Check out the sequence of events below.
The WorkOS SSO API acts as authentication middleware and intentionally does not handle user database management for your application. This is by design, to minimize vendor lock-in for Developers.
Our SSO API is compatible with any Identity Provider and supports both the SAML and OpenID Connect protocols.
