SSO Providers
What is an SSO Provider?
An SSO (Single Sign-On) provider is a service that manages user authentication and access across multiple applications. It acts as a centralized identity management system, allowing users to log in once and gain access to a variety of different applications and services without needing to re-enter credentials. The SSO provider handles the authentication process and then passes the relevant user credentials to the applications, ensuring secure and seamless access.
SSO providers play a critical role in enterprise security and user experience by simplifying the authentication process, reducing the need for multiple passwords, and helping organizations enforce consistent security policies across all applications.
