Abstract

The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for cloud-based single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. A computer-implemented method includes operations for identifying a first system for single sign-on capabilities, identifying a second system disparate from the first system for providing a single sign-on capability with the first system through a cloud-based SSO configuration manager, automatically accessing metadata associated with the sign-on information of the second system, the set of metadata identifying sign-on-related information for sharing at least one credential/certificate for logging in to the second system, using the metadata to obtain an authorization for a single sign-on between the first and second systems, receiving a request from the first system for authorization at the second system, and, in response to the request, providing the authorization and creating a cloud-based SSO system that includes the first and second systems.
