Cross Identity lite SSO leverages a variety of industry-standard protocols to seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure:

• SAML 2.0 : This widely adopted protocol enables secure exchange of authentication and authorization data between Cross Identity (acting as the Identity Provider or IdP) and your Service Providers (SPs), the applications users access. It supports both IdP-initiated and SP-initiated SSO workflows.
• OAuth 2.0: Designed for API authorization, OAuth 2.0 allows secure access to APIs used by various applications. Cross Identity lite SSO facilitates seamless user login and authorization for applications relying on OAuth 2.0.
• OpenID Connect (OIDC): Built on top of OAuth 2.0, OIDC simplifies user authentication by providing a standardized way to transmit user identity information. Cross Identity lite SSO leverages OIDC for a smooth and secure login experience for users accessing OIDC-compliant applications.
• Password Replay for Web Applications: For web applications not yet integrated with SSO protocols, Cross Identity lite SSO offers password replay functionality. This allows users to leverage their SSO credentials to securely log in to these applications without the need to remember separate passwords.
• Thick Client Support: Cross Identity lite SSO goes beyond web applications. It extends its SSO capabilities to traditional desktop applications (thick clients) as well. This eliminates the need for users to manage separate logins for these applications, enhancing overall security and user experience.
