This page documents the various parts of the JAuthTools SSO Infrastructure
Components
There are two components in the SSO area: the SSO component which handles generic SSO configuration and the token login component which handles managing the token login process.
SSO
The SSO Component provides the ability to in one location configure most plugins relating to a users authentication experience. Its unique feature is that it provides a point to configure instances of Type B plugins (called service providers), however it also provides quick access to other types of plugins such as identity providers, other SSO plugins, user plugins, etc.
Token Login
Token Login is a system that enables users to use tokens to log into their account. The Token Login Component provides an interface to enable administrators to issue, alter and revoke tokens.
