A SSO, what for?

SSO allows for users to launch your application within Maestrano without having to type in credentials. This enhances the user experience of customers by skipping a step to access your app.

The Single Sign On process is initiated from the Maestrano website when a user clicks on your application tile. This redirects the user to the configured SSO initialization endpoint which then redirects back to Maestrano IDM endpoint. The user is then redirected to your SSO consume endpoint with all the User details required to either log the user in or create a new account.
