Use Case: Streamlined SSO for Multiple nopCommerce Stores

One of the standout features of the nopCommerce SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) module is its ability to facilitate SSO across multiple nopCommerce stores, even when using different identity providers (IdPs) or multiple tenants. This capability is particularly beneficial for businesses that operate several online stores targeting different markets or customer segments.

Scenario 1: Single Sign-On Across Multiple Stores with Different IDPs

Consider a company that operates three distinct nopCommerce stores, each serving a different region—North America, Europe, and Asia. Each store uses a different identity provider for user authentication: Azure AD for the North American store, Office365 for the European store, and Google Apps for the Asian store. With our SSO module, users can seamlessly log into any of these stores using their region-specific credentials.

This setup not only simplifies the login process for users but also enhances security by ensuring that each store adheres to the identity management standards of its respective region. Employees and customers alike benefit from a streamlined experience, logging in once and gaining access to the resources they need, regardless of which store they are accessing.

Scenario 2: Single Sign-On for Multiple Tenants

Another powerful use case is SSO for multiple tenants within a single nopCommerce store. Imagine a university that uses nopCommerce to manage its online bookstore. The university comprises several colleges, each with its own set of users and identity providers. For instance, the College of Science uses Okta, while the College of Arts uses Salesforce.

With the nopCommerce SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) module, the university can configure the bookstore to accept SSO from both Okta and Salesforce. Students and faculty from either college can log into the bookstore with their respective credentials, gaining seamless access to the resources they need. This approach simplifies the user experience and ensures that each tenant's security requirements are met.
