SLO is such an incredible pain in the ass. I'm the founder of WorkOS[0]and I have been struggling with how to address this problem for 2 years now. There's no elegant solution. We've taken the approach of building a second AP

Most apps need SSO first and it’s become a more widespread need in orgs of all sizes (not just large enterprise). We decided to feature SSO more prominently in our marketing for this reason. But the API docs gives weight to other features.

Agreed, I should add something on this. (Haven't updated the article since posting it many months ago.)

Yes, it's coming. Both SMS and authenticator apps (including TOTP via scanning QR-codes). Here's an overview of our approach and technical demo for how the integration will work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQz

I would love to learn more about what you found too opinionated. (I work at WorkOS.) Can you shoot me a DM? I’ll “buy you lunch” aka send you a Doordash gift certificate as thanks :)

We're planning to push all configuration to metadata endpoints for providers who support it. There are additional benefits for refreshing SAML certificates (usually every 5 years) and dynamically adapting to other attributes changing.

Yep, we can definitely support Auth0 as an IdP. It's a less common set up (versus IdPs like Okta or Azure AD) but still something we support. Feel free to send me a note. (Or anyone reading this too!) I'm mg@workos.com

Here's what the HN homepage looked like on the day it launched (Ocb 9, 2006) https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2006-10-09 (Funny timing, I just discovered this feature yesterday.)

I actually found the link by going to pg's profile and clicking the created date. You can try it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pg Curiously the "birth" param doesn't seem to work by itself.

Yeah :P But what are you building? Do you work at an agency building lots of new products? Or building internal apps? Seems most companies don't need new boilerplate as everyone is just adding code to the existing product.

We've taken a slightly different approach to this at WorkOS. (I'm the founder.) We decided to handle authentication but explicitly _ not _ user management or authorization. This means our API is essentially just an OAuth2 wrapper

Have you had any issues with reliability or downtime in running it yourself? Or any use cases it hasn't supported? Interesting to hear you're running it with so many users!
