myAgents+No more SSO Fees!
Along with the launch of EASIE support, we’re eliminating usage-based SSO connection fees entirely (previously charging $50/month for each org) to make enterprise SSO more accessible than ever, including SAML SSO connections.
What is Enterprise SSO?
Enterprise SSO is a specialized implementation of single sign-on focusing on large organizations with complex authentication needs. Enterprises often need strong identity management systems that integrate with existing infrastructure and adhere to strict security and compliance standards.
SAML
Enterprise environments often use protocols like SAML, which support centralized authentication across diverse applications and systems. Enterprise SSO solutions must accommodate multiple user accounts, roles, and permissions to fit within organizational structures. They address requirements such as scaling, integration with on-premise systems, and providing access to cloud services.
Clerk and Enterprise SSO
Through Clerk's integration, we offer enterprise-ready SSO solutions for businesses requiring advanced security and compliance. Clerk supports enterprise connections using SAML, allowing organizations to integrate with identity management systems like Microsoft Azure Entra ID.
Clerk ensures enterprise-grade security protections such as CSRF and XSS protection, session fixation, and password safety through industry-standard practices. Enterprises can utilize Clerk's session architecture and support for multiple accounts and devices to fit into complex environments without sacrificing performance or security.
Clerk's EASIE SSO solution further elevates enterprise SSO by offering a multi-tenant OpenID provider, blending simplicity and strong security features. EASIE allows for effortless setup with email domain-based enrollment and mandatory sign-ins through designated OIDC providers. This streamlined setup eliminates SSO fees, making enterprise SSO more accessible and efficient. With plans to expand its adoption across various industries, EASIE SSO enables organizations to manage user authentication, providing a smooth experience with heightened security.
Social SSO
Social SSO simplifies the sign-in process by allowing users to sign in to applications using their existing accounts from popular platforms like Google, Facebook, or GitHub. This approach is particularly useful for consumer-facing applications where reducing friction during user sign-up and sign-in is important.
Integrating Social SSO can improve user experience and reduce drop-off rates during sign-up, and provides a smooth transition for users already signed into their social accounts. Clerk supports a wide range of Social SSO providers, enabling developers to integrate with a single click and configure high-conversion authentication options that are ready out of the box.
As users demand more convenient access methods, integrating Social SSO represents a strategic choice for applications aiming to broaden their user base while maintaining strong security measures.
Moving Forward with SSO
SSO is a standard for modern applications prioritizing security and user experience. Its ability to centralize authentication, reduce password management, and strengthen security is valuable. The scalability of SSO, supported by protocols like SAML and OpenID Connect, provides a foundation for growing ecosystems. By leveraging our integrated Clerk's SSO features, teams can focus on building applications while providing users with a smooth authentication experience.
