SAML Single Sign-On into Joomla using AuthAnvil | AuthAnvil SSO | Login using AuthAnvil
Authanvil SAML Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that enables Authanvil users to access multiple Joomla applications with one login and one set of credentials.
What is SSO ?
SAML allows exchanging of information betweenService ProviderandIdentity provider, SAML isintegration between SP and IDP. When a user tries to log in, your identity provider sends SAML assertions containing facts about the user to Identity Provider. Identity Provider receives the assertion, validates it against your Identity Provider configuration, and allows the user to access your org.
Our plugin is compatible with Joomla 4 as well as with all the SAML 2.0 compliant Identity Providers. Here we will go through a step-by-step guide to configure SAML SSO login between Joomla site and Authanvil by considering Authanvil as IdP (Identity Provider & Joomla as SP (Service Provider).
