I have an example where I have an application that is developed in OutSystems and makes use of the IdP component to allow SSO authentication for the users to access.
I am now trying to integrate another component with the service which is not developed in OutSystems and is hosted separately. I am looking to link the authentication of the 2 platforms together so that the users have a "single login" process rather than logging into both independently.
Is there a use case and/or pattern of leveraging IdP for external services in a similar way that may help me here?
Hi @Daniel Asserati,If both the OutSystems application and the other component not deployed in OutSystems leverage the same external Identity provider for authentication, you will achieve the "single login" you are describing.When a user authenticates in OutSystems, in reality, he will be first redirected to the external identity provider login page where the user credentials are validated. The same thing will happen if you start on the other application as well.Once a session is established on the external identity provider, the next application you access ( Outsystems or the other one) will automatically login the user because when they initiate the SAML authentication flow the user is already authenticated.
