Identity & SSO Integration for Websites & Applications
SAML, OAuth and OpenID Connect single sign-on, so your customers and staff log in once, securely.
Authentication is one of those things that is invisible when it works and a serious problem when it does not. I integrate single sign-on and identity providers, SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect, so customers and staff can log in with the identity they already have, whether that is Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace, Okta, Auth0, or a customer identity platform. Done properly, it is more secure and less friction; done casually, it is a breach waiting to happen, so I build it carefully.
& custom builds
How I approach it
Authentication is the one integration you cannot afford to get subtly wrong. I build it to spec, treating the security model as the point of the work rather than a detail to bolt on afterwards.
What I build with Identity Management
The Identity Management integration work I most often take on. If yours sounds like one of these, we should talk.
SAML, OAuth & OpenID Connect
The three standards single sign-on runs on, implemented correctly. Token validation, signature checks, and session handling done to spec rather than approximated, because this is the layer you cannot afford to get subtly wrong.
Any Identity Provider
Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace, Okta, Auth0, or a customer identity platform. Staff SSO, customer login, or both, connected to whichever provider you already use.
Provisioning & Roles
User provisioning, de-provisioning, and role mapping so access reflects who someone actually is, and access is removed promptly when it should be. For B2B this ties directly into which catalog and pricing a user sees.
Secure by Design
Done carefully, SSO reduces password sprawl and improves security. Done casually, it introduces token and session vulnerabilities. I treat the security model as the point of the work, not a detail.
A Identity Management integration built to last
The same approach behind every integration I ship, from the first conversation to the years of maintenance that follow.
Scope & map
We map exactly what needs to move between Identity Management and your store: orders, stock, pricing, customers, and where the awkward edge cases hide.
Build for redundancy
I build the integration around the failure modes: retries with backoff, idempotent writes, and reconciliation, so it holds up when the API has a bad day.
Test & reconcile
Tested against real data in a safe environment, with reconciliation reporting that proves Identity Management and your store actually agree before go-live.
Monitor & maintain
Monitoring and alerting from launch, so failures surface immediately, and the same developer who built it is the one who keeps it running.

Common Identity Management Integration Questions
Can you add single sign-on to my website or application?
Yes. I integrate SSO using SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect against providers like Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, and Auth0, for staff logins, customer logins, or both. The right standard and provider depend on who is logging in and what you already run, and that is the first thing to establish.
What's the difference between SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect?
Briefly: SAML is a long-established standard common in enterprise SSO; OAuth 2.0 is an authorisation framework; and OpenID Connect is an authentication layer built on top of OAuth. In practice the right choice depends on your identity provider and whether you are authenticating staff or customers. I pick based on your environment rather than a fixed preference, and implement it to spec.
Why not just build my own login system?
You can, and for a simple site a well-built local login is fine. Identity integration earns its place when you need staff to use their existing corporate credentials, when customers expect to log in with an account they already have, or when security and compliance require a proper identity provider. Offloading authentication to a dedicated provider is also generally more secure than rolling your own, provided the integration itself is done correctly.
Can SSO control B2B pricing and catalog access?
Yes, and this is a natural fit. Once a user is authenticated through your identity provider, their role and account can determine which catalog and pricing they see. That ties identity directly into your B2B experience, so logging in and seeing the right, contracted view of your store are the same action.
