Kerberos, SAML and OpenID Connect (OIDC) are the most widely used protocols for single sign-on. Now, Kantega SSO Enterprise supports all three.

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an authentication protocol and an identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0. It does everything OAuth does plus authentication. It based on modern communication protocols, such as JSON and REST, and it uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT), called an ID token, to provide authentication information.

Our documentation describes more about the differences between OpenID Connect and SAML.

Users that are familiar with how to configure SAML identity providers in Kantega SSO Enterprise will see that the setup and configuration of OIDC is very similar.
