Typo3 SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) can be achieved by using our Typo3 SAML SP Single Sign-On (SSO) plugin. Our SSO solution will make Typo3 SAML 2.0 compliant Service Provider establishing trust between the Typo3 site and your Identity Provider (IdP) to securely authenticate and login users to the Typo3 site. Our Typo3 Single Sign-On (SSO) solution helps to secure Typo3 sites behind the SSO login so that users are authenticated using their Identity Provider login credentials. Seamless support for advanced SSO features like Attribute / Custom Mapping, Role Mapping etc.

SAML allows information to be exchanged between Service Providers and Identity Providers; SAML is the integration of Service Providers and Identity Providers. When a user attempts to log in, your Service provider delivers SAML assertions to Identity Provider, which contain information about the user. The assertion is received by Identity Provider, which validates it against your Service Provider settings before allowing the user access to your org.
