Joomla OAuth Client Integration with Salesforce Single Sign-On (SSO)
Set up Single Sign-On (SSO) on your Joomla website
via Salesforce with the
Joomla OAuth &
OpenID Connect Single
Sign-On plugin. Implementing Salesforce SSO allows users to log into your websites and applications
with a single
set of credentials using the Salesforce login credentials.
Salesforce acts as the OAuth Provider and Joomla acts as the OAuth Client. Joomla Salesforce Authentication
provides smooth login between these two, removing the need to remember usernames and passwords.
