How do I support SAML and OIDC for enterprise customers without building it from scratch?

Enterprise single sign-on is presented as an important requirement for SaaS companies seeking larger, security-conscious customers, who often require SAML or OpenID Connect support to centrally manage user access, lifecycle events, and security policies. Although these protocols are standardized, implementing and maintaining them internally can require substantial effort because of differences between SAML’s XML-based model and OIDC’s OAuth- and JSON-based approach, as well as provider-specific variations in attribute mapping, certificates, token handling, and configuration. The text argues that this complexity becomes greater in multi-tenant applications, where each customer may use a distinct identity provider and configuration. It recommends the identity broker pattern, in which an intermediary normalizes authentication from multiple identity providers into a consistent interface for an application, enabling support for enterprise SSO without replacing an existing authentication system. SSOJet is presented as a cloud-native identity platform intended to provide this intermediary capability, reduce engineering and support burdens, and help companies offer enterprise authentication while concentrating development resources on their core products.
