Configure ServiceNow Single Sign-On (SSO) with Joomla OAuth Client Plugin

Overview

Single Sign-On (SSO) with ServiceNow in Joomla uses OAuth Authorization to provide users secure access to the Joomla site. With our Joomla OAuth Single Sign-On (SSO) plugin, ServiceNow acts as the OAuth provider, ensuring secure login for Joomla websites.

The integration of Joomla and ServiceNow simplifies and secures the login process using OAuth protocol. This solution allows users to access their Joomla sites with Single Sign-On (SSO) using their ServiceNow credentials, completely removing the need to store, remember, and reset multiple passwords.

In addition to offering OAuth Single Sign-On (SSO) using ServiceNow credentials, the plugin also provides advanced SSO features like user profile attribute mapping, role mapping, and Azure multi-tenant login and providing site access based on organization email domains.
