SAML Single Sign-On into Joomla using PingOne | PingOne SSO | Login using PingOne
PingOne SAML Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that enables PingOne 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 PingOne by considering PingOne as IdP (Identity Provider & Joomla as SP (Service Provider).
