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

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

The integration of Joomla and Steam 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 Steam credentials, completely removing the need to store, remember, and reset multiple passwords.

In addition to offering OAuth Single Sign-On (SSO) using Steam 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. For further insights into the array of features we offer within the Joomla OAuth & OpenID Connect Client plugin, kindly visit our page here. You can follow the below steps to setup Steam OAuth SSO with Joomla.


In this configuration, Steam functions as the OAuth server, while Joomla allows users to log in with their Steam credentials by utilizing the Joomla OAuth Client Plugin.
