How to Add Enterprise SSO to a Next.js App (SAML + OIDC, 2026 Guide)

Enterprise buyers often require Single Sign-On (SSO) support before finalizing contracts, making it crucial for applications like those built with Next.js to integrate SSO solutions such as SSOJet. This guide outlines how to incorporate enterprise SSO into a Next.js app utilizing SSOJet, which manages both SAML and OIDC identity providers like Okta, Entra ID, and Google Workspace without requiring developers to handle SAML parsing directly. SSOJet simplifies the process by acting as a protocol broker, converting various identity provider protocols into a single OIDC interface that the Next.js app can interact with. This setup eliminates the need for maintaining complex SAML libraries within the app, allowing developers to choose between using NextAuth.js for a simpler integration with built-in session management or oidc-client-ts for more direct control over authentication flows. The guide also emphasizes best practices for security, such as handling environment variables securely, and details the necessary steps for setting up and testing the SSO integration, ensuring compatibility with multiple identity providers and different SSO initiation methods, including SP-initiated and IdP-initiated flows.
