Odoo Website SSO(Single Sign On)
Why generate different credentials if the Single Sign-on can help?
Single Sign-on(SSO) is an authentication process that facilitates user to access multiple applications with single login credentials. For Single Sign-on, it requires OAuth which is the industry-standard protocol for authorization. OAuth helps to make the procedure safer.
Now, even Odoo Users can use Single Sign-on Feature in their Odoo Websites.
With the launch of Odoo Website SSO, Odoo users can also access multiple Odoo websites with one log-in credential.
Odoo admin adds the details like name and URL of secondary websites on the primary website for Single Sign-on. Once the configuration part is done; users can access secondary websites via the credential of the primary website.
Generally, the authentication verification data is passed as either cookie with session data or as tokens, which don't track the session and are faster to process. Single Sign-on in Odoo Website simplifies and fasten the log-in process.
