Single Sign-On (SSO) is a concept where a user authenticates and can access multiple applications without having to log in to those other applications. This is pretty common within enterprises so users don’t have to log in to all of the applications they use every day.

According to Techopedia.com, the advantages of using SSO are:

  • Eliminating credential reauthentication and help desk requests; thus, improving productivity.
  • Streamlining local and remote applications and desktop workflow.
