SSO protocols work great until you try to implement then 100% to spec. Then you realize how many vendors do weird shit with their SPs.

- grinich 3y agoSmall plug for my startup (hope that's ok!!) This is what WorkOS helps solve for developers. It's like Stripe for SAML (and other enterprise features) https://workos.com/single-sign-on https://workos.com/single-sign-on Happy to chat with anyone who's interested! mg@workos.com
- mooreds 3y agoLike what Michael said, there are a number of companies willing to act as an adapter for your SSO needs. My employer, FusionAuth, is another. Agreed that every SP is slightly different. There's a reason the SAML spec is 800+ pages, it covers a lot of variations. Since it has not been substantially updated since, there are some legacy choices (hello XML). We also maintain an open source java SAML library: https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-samlv2 https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-samlv2 SSO is simple on the surface and complex once you peel it back!
