miniOrange Oracle Service Bus Single Sign-On (SSO) supports the following features:

SP (Service Provider) Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO):
In this flow, a person tries to login to the service provider (Oracle Service Bus account) directly. The request is redirected to the identity provider for authentication. On successfull authentication from the identity provider, the person is given access to the application (Oracle Service Bus account).
IdP (Identity Provider) Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO):
In this flow, a person logs in to the identity provider using his credentials. Now the person can access any of the configured service providers (Oracle Service Bus account, etc.) through the identity provider dashboard without having to enter the credentials again.
Just In Time Provisioning:
This will automate user account creation and pass information in your applications through identity provider. So, when a new user tries to log in to an authorized app for the first time, they trigger the flow of information from the identity provider to the app that's needed to create their account.

Connect with External Source of Users

miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP, AWS etc), Identity Providers (like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, AWS), and many more. You can configure your existing directory/user store or add users in miniOrange.

Steps to Capture logs:
- Make sure the SAML Tracer window is opened before you start the SSO flow. (You can open it by clicking the SAML Tracer icon in your extensions list in the browser toolbar.)
- Run the SSO flow to reproduce the issue. You will see SAML Tracer getting populated with all the URLs.
- Hit Pause on SAML Tracer, once the issue is reproduced to avoid extra logs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is SAML SSO?

SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process in which a user is provided access to multiple applications and/or websites by using only a single set of login credentials (such as username and password). This prevents the need for the user to login separately into the different applications.
