Single Sign-On (SSO)

What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?

SSO is an acronym which stands for Single sign-on.

It is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID to any of several related, yet independent, software systems.

True single sign-on allows the user to log in once and access services without re-entering authentication factors each time.

An example would be a user logging into their computer work station, and then opening a web application in their browser without needing to log in a second time to the web application.

Certain Self hosted editions of our MIDAS web application allow SSO with an Active Directory.

SSO via SAML 2.0 Identity Providers is also supported in both self and cloud hosted editions of MIDAS.
