OIDC session management: Features

All the versions of this article: [English] [français]

SSO, SLI, SLO, SRA: These features offered by OAuthSD simplify session and connection management for users, ensuring a smooth and secure experience when using multiple applications compatible with OpenID Connect.

Before detailing how OAuthSD implements these features, let’s make sure to distinguish them:

SSO (Single Sign-On): This is a mechanism that allows a user to log in once to access multiple applications, without having to log in again each time. With OAuthSD, SSO is set up to offer single authentication for a group of applications, thus preventing the same Internet user from having to authenticate several times to access different applications.

SLI (Single Login In): SLI is a similar concept to SSO, but it focuses on the fact that once logged in, a user can access multiple applications without having to log in again. OAuthSD uses SLI to facilitate navigation and data exchange within a multiple application.

SLO (Single Log-Out) : SLO is the counterpart of SSO, but for disconnection. It allows a user to log out just once to log out of all applications they are logged in to. This guarantees a global disconnection and reinforces security in the event of the user leaving their workstation.

SRA (Single Re-Authentication): SRA is a mechanism that allows a user to seamlessly re-authenticate when an authentication cookie is no longer valid. This ensures enhanced security in the event of a need for re-authentication.
