SAML SSO for Joomla

Introduction

Authentication, Login protection, Login Redirect, Auto Login, Access & Security

Joomla SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) allows you to secure your Joomla site by allowing users to login into Joomla site by different SAML Identity Providers like Azure AD, Okta, GSuite / Google Apps, Keycloak, ADFS, Salesforce, Office 365, Shibboleth2, Shibboleth3, OneLogin, PingFederate, FusionAuth or any SAML compliant Identity Provider.
