Setup single sign-on (SSO) for Salesforce Community so that your end users can log in to Salesforce Community with single set of credentials from any identity provider or external directory. In this scenario, the admin can setup an identity provider using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). You can also use Active directory (AD) or any database as Identity source.
Setup single sign-on (SSO) so that your employees or members log in to any other application or any external service provider using Salesforce Community credentials. With this system, your Salesforce Community account will act as a SAML identity provider and integrate with the other applications or service providers.
Salesforce Community can act as SP and IdP both based on the use case and type of authentication required. You can login into multiple Salesforce Community orgs using credentials of other org or login to your Salesforce Community org using any Identity source. SSO can be set up and configured between multiple Salesforce Community orgs to have seamless and secure acess and data security.
With this feature, you will be automatically logged out of all the applications that are connected with Idneity provider (IdP) when you log out from Salesforce Community org or any other app.
Single Sign-on can make it mandatory for all users to log in using SSO. This will prevent any users from login using any other source and bypassing the login system. No users will be able to have direct login making it a streamline and secure process.
In this flow, the user tries to login to the Serivce Provider (Salesforce Community) directly. The request is redirected to the Identity Provider for authentication. On sucessfull authentication from the Identity provider, the user is given access to the application.
In this flow, the user logs in to the Identity Provider using his credentials. Now the user can access any of the configured Service Providers (salesforce community, etc.) through the Identity Provider Dashboard without having to enter the credentials agian.
miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, Azure AD, OpenLDAP, Google, AWS Cognito etc), Identity Providers (like Shibboleth, Ping, Okta, OneLogin, KeyCloak), Databases (like MySQL, Maria DB, PostgreSQL) and many more.
