Magento 2 SSO or Magento 2 Single Sign-On module allows the integration of the Magento store with third-party applications.
However, the user can sign in to the third-party applications through their Magento 2 sign-up credentials.
Using Magento 2 SSO, the admin can easily integrate multiple clients for Single Sign-On using their Magento credentials.
The admin can also integrate the UVdesk support portal with the user’s Magento store.
Features Of Magento 2 SSO
The admin can allow the users to log in to third-party applications with their Magento credentials.
There is no need for the user to remember multiple login access to other portals like the support portals.
A user can sign in automatically on a third-party application.
The admin can easily integrate multiple clients for client Single Sign-On login.
It is easy for the admin to manage (add/view/edit/delete) all the SSO integrations.
It helps the admin to integrate the UVdesk support portal with the Magento store.
The admin’s UVdesk support portal can be integrated with his Magento Store.
It supports the LDAP server integration for Single Sign-On.
It also helps synchronize the newly created customers on the Magento2 store with the LDAP server.

Third-party integration like (asp.net, Java, PHP, etc.)
Follow the below steps to integrate the Magento 2 SSO with third-party integration like asp.net, Java, PHP, etc.
1.) Create a button at the client end (like asp.net) to login from Magento. After hitting that button redirect to the following URL.
Method: GET
Response: redirecturl?token=#tokenval
Description: get the token Note: that redirect_uri and client_id is mandatory field append to URL
2.) After that, at the API end(Magento end) client id will verify that the client is registered at the Magento end or not? If the customer is registered then a login page will appear to log in.
Thus, After login a page appears with authorizing and cancel button. If authorized then a token will be provided and append in the redirect URL.
But if the client is already login with some account then a page appears with authorizing and cancel button.
If the client is not authorized then an error message will be shown or the user cancels to authorize then it redirects to the redirect URL.
3.)After that client will hit again the Magento SSO module API with the provided token and client id
Method: GET
Response: JWT encoded string or Array(with error key)
Description: get the user email information
if client_id and auth token verified we send the customer email and name with the expiration of 2 minutes encoded by JWT using client secret key else error will be provided in $response[‘error] form
Hence, The client has to decode the data using JWT via the client secret key generated at Magento end with a success or error field.
API to check the detail entered at the client end (UVdesk, asp.net) correct or not
