What Is Single Sign-on (SSO)? How It Works 

I love the simplification of your tutorials. Great content

Something I would love to see about SSO is diving deeper into the SSO Authorization side as well. These examples are fantastic for the SSO authentication area but not diving into authorization to not just determine who the user is but also what they have access to. I love your videos and strongly recommend them to my coworkers to help explain complex topics very easily but I also struggle to properly explain SSO Authentication vs SSO Authorization and the importance of both.

I got your books few months ago when I was trying to learn system design without even knowing you were on youtube providing amazing contents. thanks a lot. I really love your content

Simple, easy and direct to the point explanation of SSO. Thank you so much for the info and being so precise!

This video is fantastic. Definitely the best one I have seen for this topic that goes over SAML and OIDC topics!

Super simple yet very complete explanation. 10/10

I don't ever think I've ever received so much valuable information, in such a short amount of time. That was a terrific video, keep up the good work! :)

What a clear, straight-forward explanation. Thanks man.

this channel is underrated, keep the good work.

Thanks for the video! As a product manager, your videos are super useful and easy to understand. Your videos by far are the most well created and easy to understand for explaining complex concepts. I am currently trying to wrap my head around to understand how my developers implemented SSO in my company using OAuth2 and OIDC because I need to explain to people who have even less technical knowledge than I am. You'd think your own developers can explain what they have implemented, but having ability to explain complex concept to non-developers is not for everyone. Would be great if you can also provide a similar easy to understand video for how SSO is implemented with OAuth2 and OIDC. 🙏🙏🙏

it is amazing how quickly this channel have grown. Great content!

Loved this style of video where you explain popular standards, more of this in the future i hope! I'm also a big fan of ur system desgin videos and was wondering if you would do a high frequency chat system like twitch chat or anything that involves combining the C10K problem with a chat channel. Maybe its just as simple as throwing together a redis microservice but im dying to know!

Best explanation of SAML traffic flow I've seen. Other videos make it seem as though the IDP is making outbound connection to SP to deliver the assertion!

Thank you. You are the best one who is explaining the SSO.

Crisp and full of info. Love the bytes for a high level understanding

You really are doing excellent videos. Way to translate difficult system design for the rest of us. Good job translating. THANK YOU!

You made it so easy for me to understand !! Thank you so much! Im now a subscriber and soon to be an active viewer. Thanks again for a fantastic breakdown!

Spectacular video that simplifies a complex process in a short, digestible clip without any fluff. I loved the animations throughout the video. What app or tool are you using for the animations?

You deserve more subs. Keep up the great work.

Great explanation, easily understandable visual diagrams, all in under 5 mins..Thank you so much.

Great content! Excellent explanation of a complicated problem in a simple way.

Thank you. Such a nice explanation in short video... 👍👍 Really liked it.

Great video. SSO explained so easily with SAML / openid flow.

Thanks for the video! I learned that there is another way SSO scheme called CAS, and I wonder that what different with OIDC and SAML. Would be great if you can also provide a similar easy to understand video.😁

Thank you for the video. It's super clear. Loved this style of presentation

Thanks for choosing SAML, for explanation.

Very good video, thanks; special mention to the clarity of thought and presentation; this made the concept easier to grasp.

Finally! Great clear explanation! Thank you!

Great content! Thank you so much for these creations!

Key concepts: 1. Service Provider and Identify Provider 2. Federated Identity protocols: SAML (XML) vs OpenID (JWT)

Very good one. simple and without fluffs

I could listen to this guy all day. Doesn't even have to be tech stuff. He could open a cooking channel for all I care

Great video. The visuals are very well done

great clarity. Thanks

Amazing and on point explanation provided enough to keep in mind and use when a real scenario is encountered. Thanks a ton sir. hare krishna

Another epic video. Thanks

Great vid as always! Weird coincidence that I'm currently implementing SSO at my current org

Love this channel.

First, I give it a like then I watch because I believe the content

Very well explained. Thanks a lot!

Thank you I did confirm and learned something new. I'm subscribing.

Great explanation, thank you so much.

Thanks for the video. Clearly understandable.

👍very informative video. Thanks a lot

So so clear. Thank you, sir.

Hi folks from Byte Byte Go. Your videos are great! But specifically for this one, I think you should explain how SAR, which is actually a XML document, is passed from SP to browser then to IdP (the same for the SAML assertion). I do not have deep knowledge in SAML, but I suspect the XLM document is compressed (deflate), base64 encoded, and passed as a query string into a HTTP 302 Redirect response. I don't know if I'm correct. But I think this explanation should be on the video. It's a very basic detail of implementation that everyone interested on the basic technical aspects of SAML (me included) should learn/be aware.

I just found out your channel and I love it. Good content easy to follow. Which Sw are you using to create your presentations?

I really like how you simplified sso 😀

Great content! Would also be great to see how the LDAP protocol fits into the picture.

Solid explanation. Thank you.

love the tutorials. btw, what tool do you use for diagrams?

Very informative and concise

Thanks for video, great content!

very helpful and nicely illustrated! Which program you are using to make these explanations?

Thank you for the tutorials. Id like to know with which tool you made this video

Thanks for sharing rich information with nice view.

Wow excellent video.👍👍 Make a video on "How a react app works?"

Could you pls cover the following in future segments, if possible: Coordination Service Consensus algorithms B Trees Broadcast Protocols Vector Clocks Thanks!

Did anyone else peep how he skipped Twitter when talking about the identity providers you can count on at the end?

SSO is an authentication scheme. SSO is built on a concept called federated identity. It enables sharing of identity information across trusted but independent systems. Key concepts: 1. Service Provider and Identify Provider 2. Federated Identity protocols: SAML (XML) vs OpenID (JWT)

This is good video for learning single sign-on. But this video will good than more if having code example. Thank you.

Love this one! Thx!

This is a powerhouse of information. A book I read on this was also a wealth of knowledge. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

For some reason these videos make me feel more relaxed

very simple explaination

such a wonderfull simplification

My friend, these videos are amaing.Would you mind sharing what application you use to built them ?

excellent, thanks for sharing

very well done!

Super double great contents !!!

Thanks for the excelent informatio. can you create another video explaining differece between sso (saml, openid) vs oauth2

@bytebytego how do you create such crystal clear animated videos?

how to make these awesome animated slides i.e which tool do you use for this can you please tell

I really like your examples! I have one question, how the IDP know that this specific user can skip login and return a SAML assertion? Does this assertion contain SP info?

Thank you very much!

Good video, thanks.

Love your flow drawing - what do you use for that, if you can share?

good video and explanation 👍 hello from Russia, yaroslavl❤😎

Nice explanation, can you please explain OpenID implementation as well?

Thanks got much inputs..🙏

Thank you!

Best tutorial about SSO. Just still have some confusion in step 4, the logging in page(in the video 2:07). I just tried one time, if I'm on the compnay's VPN, there isn't login page; is that login page for employee to log in the company's network or it's for logging into the ID service provider's network?

Great animations

Good explanation. Thanks. A question though- how does the identity provider know that user has already signed in? What information does user's browser provider to identity provider? If this information is cached in user's browser, is it not prone to client side security attacks?

excellent!

Thanks for sharing, could you please tell me in which tool you have developed these animates diagrams?

Thank You.

Thank you

Thank you! :)

Could you please share the tool that you used to create these videos

Can you please tell me the name of software you use to create these animation, I'd like to learn it.....

Just watching your videos made me buy your books. Your diagrams and videos are amazing. Keep up the good work. One question in the above video, does Service Provider and IDP need to be preconfigured to support each other? i.e. Does the Service provider tells IDP in advance that "hey IDP I am using a SAML for clients" so please register me on your IDP. Otherwise, how will IDP know that this SAML is meant for this Service provider? 👏

I freaking love you man ❤

How is that different to Oauth2.0 or oauth2.1 PKCE? are these the same? Nice video BTW :)

Liked and subscribed

I'm sorry if my question sounds dumb. Where does OAuth 2.0 and LDAP fit in this picture? I saw common protocols at 0:48 are SAML and OpenID Connect.

what tool you are using for this presentation?

How smartly he skips twitter at 04:35 🤣

animationa are spot on..

nice!
