By integrating PingFederate SSO into Joomla through the OAuth 2.0 authentication protocol, users can securely log in to Joomla websites and applications by authenticating with the PingFederate OAuth provider.

The PingFederate OAuth Joomla plugin also offers advanced features such as automatic user creation, attribute mapping, and group mapping.
