SSO
SSO (Single Sign-On) is an authentication method that lets users sign in once with a single set of credentials to access multiple related software applications or websites, without entering credentials for each service separately.
How it works
It works by having users first sign in to a central authentication service (such as a company's identity provider); once successful, they receive a security token. When the user visits other integrated applications, each app validates that token and grants access directly, with no need to sign in again. This greatly simplifies the user experience while improving the security and efficiency of account management.
Examples
- 1.Employees use their company email account to sign in to all internal systems with one click, such as CRM, project management tools, and internal wikis.
- 2.Users sign in directly to third-party websites or mobile apps with their Google or WeChat accounts, without creating a new account.
- 3.After signing in to the campus portal, students can directly access the course registration system, library resources, and online learning platforms.
