Federation

Web SSO

Web SSO is a web-based SSO model where a central intermediary authenticates the user and propagates session trust to connected applications.

Definition

Web SSO is a pattern in which web applications rely on a shared authentication intermediary, often proxy-like, to establish trust for the user session across several services. It was historically used to unify access to multiple web applications without redesigning each one's authentication model.
