What is Single-Sign On?
Single sign-on (SSO) is a user authentication and session
management service that enables users to enter into different
apps using just one set of login credentials, such as a username
and password.
SSO unifies several application login pages into one, allowing
you to enter your credentials only once and have access to all
applications without signing into each one separately. With SSO,
end users' time and effort are reduced since they are relieved of
the continual requirement to sign in and out of several online,
on-premises, and cloud apps independently.
SSO is a crucial component of access control or identity and
access management (IAM) systems. An enterprise's SSO system,
when properly deployed, makes overall password management
simpler, enhancing productivity and security. Lowering the
likelihood of lost, inadequate, or forgotten passwords.

The foundation of SSO is the establishment of a trust
relationship between a service provider, and an identity
provider. There is a certificate that is transferred between the
identity provider and the service provider frequently serves as
the foundation for this trust relationship. In order for the service
provider to know that the identity information is coming from a
reliable source, this certificate can be used to sign identity
information.

Why Single-Sign On is important?
Use of business applications is increasing each day and shows no
signs of slowing down.
Any business owner will be aware that a variety of apps are
necessary for certain activities that are essential for the proper
operation of their company. For starters, there are CRMs, which
help you track leads and turn them into deals; collaboration
tools, which help you stay in touch with your team;
bookkeeping apps, which help with accounting; marketing
apps, which help you run social media and email campaigns; and
analytics apps, which assist you in gathering and consuming
data from various sources. There are apps for every activity
required in a business.
The idea of having to memorize several different login
credentials for various programmes is undoubtedly not
appealing to your staff or consumers. Additionally, if your IT
staff is responsible for setting up, switching, and changing
passwords for users for different apps, it takes a significant
amount of time, IT resources, and money that may be used
elsewhere.
6. 6
So what is the answer? How can you manage a business and
staff members whose use of apps will only increase?
The answer is to enable single sign-on (SSO) for your business.
With single sign-on (SSO), employees may access any business
apps, websites, and data for which they have authorization by
logging in only once with a single set of credentials. The
following are some of the primary issues that SSO helps
businesses with:
More conformity and security.
Enhanced usefulness and contentment among employees.
Reduced IT expenses.
Increased Productivity
Even if the concept of "single sign-on" seems foreign to you,
there's a good chance you've already used it. Remember the
times when you could use Google Docs without needing to sign
in when you signed into your Gmail account? SSO is present
there.
There is a serious fragmentation issue as a result of the growth
of cloud apps and services in the organization, which are
frequently used in addition to on-premise ones. Enterprise

fragmentation is a problem for IT and users. IT must handle all
of the business's apps in addition to dealing with shadow IT.
Every day, workers are forced to log into and move between an
increasing number of apps and websites merely to finish their
work.
SSO aids in addressing the issue of enterprise fragmentation.
