Through SSO, user accounts are connected to multiple applications using a single set of login credentials. SSO operates by creating a link between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP), allowing for a one-time user authentication.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_SSO\"><\/span>Benefits of SSO:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enhanced Security:<\/strong> Prevent information leakage due to users using multiple different passwords.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved User Experience:<\/strong> Makes it easier for users to log in to multiple applications without having to remember multiple passwords.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced Management Costs:<\/strong> Minimizes time spent assisting users when they forget their passwords.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased Productivity:<\/strong> Helps employees focus on their work rather than wasting time logging in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Potential_Drawbacks_of_SSO_and_Solutions\"><\/span>Potential Drawbacks of SSO (and Solutions)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although SSO offers many benefits, it also has some drawbacks, such as if a user&#8217;s account is compromised, all access rights to services will be affected.
