Single Sign-On

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that enables users to access multiple applications with one login and one set of credentials. For example, after users log in to your org, they can automatically access all apps from the App Launcher. You can set up your Salesforce org to trust a third-party identity provider to authenticate users. Or you can configure a third-party app to rely on your org for authentication.

Salesforce supports SSO with SAML and OpenID Connect. You can also use predefined authentication providers to set up SSO with third parties that use a custom authentication protocol, such as Facebook.

For more information on SSO use cases, terminology, and configuration steps, check out these sections in Salesforce Help.
