How SSO works? Single Sign-On Workflow!Explore the BTS journey of authentication.#SSO #coding #coder

Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials. The basic workflow involves:

1. Authentication Request:
• User tries to access an application.
• The application requests authentication.
2. Identity Provider (IDP) Authentication:
• The application redirects the user to the Identity Provider (IDP).
• User authenticates with the IDP using a username and password.
3. Token Generation:
• Upon successful authentication, the IDP generates a token (e.g., Security Assertion Markup Language - SAML, OAuth, or OpenID Connect).
4. Token Response:
• The token is sent back to the application.
5. User Access:
• The application validates the token.
• If valid, the user is granted access without requiring re-authentication.
