SSO is a session and user authentication service that permits a user to use one set of login credentials to access multiple applications. The service authenticates the end user for all the applications the user has been given rights to and eliminates further prompts when the user switches applications during the same session.
SSO functionality is achieved by establishing a connection with an identity provider (IdP), which serves as a repository for managing users digital identities within the digital or cloud-based ecosystem. Through the use of protocols like the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML 2.0), such as in the case of NocoDB, SSO facilitates the secure exchange of authentication data between the identity provider and the service providers.
