Smarter Access, Stronger Security: Single Sign-On (SSO) with SAML & OIDC integrations

Security and convenience must go hand in hand, so Qube now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) with SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and OIDC (OpenID Connect). These protocols allow users to access multiple systems with a single set of credentials, transforming the way organisations manage authentication and security.

What are SAML and OIDC?

SAML and OIDC are industry-standard protocols designed to enable secure and seamless authentication. By leveraging these technologies, organisations can integrate their identity provider with various applications, ensuring users can log in effortlessly using their existing work credentials.

  • SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language): An XML-based protocol that facilitates the secure exchange of authentication and authorisation data between identity providers and service providers.
  • OIDC (OpenID Connect): A simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, enabling easy and secure user authentication and single sign-on.

Why implement SAML & OIDC?

By enabling SSO with SAML and OIDC, your organisation can benefit from:

  • Improved security: Strengthen your security posture by centralising authentication and reducing the risk of password-related breaches. Users only need one set of credentials, minimising weak or repeated passwords.
  • Enhanced user experience: This feature simplifies access to multiple applications and improves login experiences. Users no longer need to remember multiple usernames and passwords—one login gets them where they need to be.
  • Streamlined management: It integrates seamlessly with your organisation’s identity provider, making user provisioning and de-provisioning more efficient and reducing the administrative burden on IT teams.

How it works

When a user attempts to access an application, the system redirects them to their organisation’s identity provider. Once authenticated, SAML or OIDC sends a secure token back to the application, granting access without the need for additional logins. This process is fast, secure, and efficient.
