Login using Joomla into Trello using SAML Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On in Trello using Joomla IDP allows users to log in to Trello using Joomla by configuring Trello 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 Trello?
Trello is a project management and collaboration tool that uses boards, lists, and cards to help teams organize
tasks and projects. Each board represents a project, with lists for different stages or categories, and cards for
individual tasks or items. Users can add descriptions, comments, attachments, and due dates to cards, making it easy
to track progress and collaborate with team members. Trello's visual and flexible interface makes it popular for
managing workflows and projects in various industries.
