miniOrange Perimeter81 Single Sign-On (SSO) supports the following features:

  • SP (Service Provider) Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO):
    In this flow, a person tries to login to the service provider (Perimeter81 account) directly. The request is redirected to the identity provider for authentication. On successful authentication from the identity provider, the person is given access to the application (Perimeter81 account).
  • IdP (Identity Provider) Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO):
    In this flow, a person logs in to the identity provider using his credentials. Now the person can access any of the configured service providers (Perimeter81 account, etc.) through the identity provider dashboard without having to enter the credentials again.
  • Just In Time Provisioning:
    This will automate user account creation and pass information in your applications through identity provider. So, when a new user tries to log in to an authorized app for the first time, they trigger the flow of information from the identity provider to the app that's needed to create their account.


Connect with External Source of Users


miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP, AWS etc), Identity Providers (like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, AWS), and many more. You can configure your existing directory/user store or add users in miniOrange.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is SAML SSO?

SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process in which a user is provided access to multiple applications and/or websites by using only a single set of login credentials (such as username and password). This prevents the need for the user to login separately into the different applications.
