I started a startup to fix this exact problem integrating and configuring SSO/SAML.[0]
We launched here on HN 5 years ago[1] and today power SSO for OpenAI, Cursor, Vercel, and a thousand other apps. We also found the initial configuration step to be painful for users, so we built a self-serve wizard that enables enterprise admins to fix issues.[2]
It's still crazy how much complexity there is with enterprise identity systems and managing the user lifecycle for big orgs. It's like the whole thing is made of weird edge cases and even moreso when you add SCIM, RBAC, MFA, etc etc.
(If anyone reading this also loves suffering at the intersection of IAM and developer tools, we are hiring! Email in my profile :))

- grinich 1y agoalso if anyone wants to go down the rabbit hole about why SAML is hard to implement, this is a pretty interesting writeup of a major 0-day vuln we discovered earlier this year: https://workos.com/blog/samlstorm https://workos.com/blog/samlstorm
