Abstract
Various techniques and procedures related to user authentication, identity providers, and single sign-on (SSO) are presented here. One approach creates an SSO link between two organizations in a streamlined manner using an internal cross-user systemwide digital certificate, and without processing any user-created, user-uploaded, or user-assigned digital certificates. Another approach presented here configures an identity provider service for an entity or organization by processing a single user command. The identity provider service is automatically configured in the background without processing any additional user commands, user instructions, or user-entered data.
