SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) into iSpring using Joomla IDP Plugin

Single Sign-On in iSpring using Joomla IDP allows users to log in to Frontline Education using Joomla by configuring iSpring as a Service Provider (SP) and Joomla as a SAML Identity Provider (IDP). This guide will take you through a step-by-step process to configure SSO between the two platforms.

What is iSpring?
iSpring is a suite of e-learning authoring tools designed to create interactive and engaging online courses and presentations. It includes software applications for creating multimedia-rich content, quizzes, assessments, and simulations. iSpring integrates with PowerPoint, allowing users to convert presentations into interactive e-learning courses easily. Key features of iSpring include a content library, SCORM and xAPI compliance, video narrations, mobile-friendly output, and integration with learning management systems (LMS). iSpring is used by educators, trainers, and instructional designers to develop and deliver effective e-learning content for various educational and corporate training purposes.
