Configuring single sign-on
In this recipe, we delve into the technical intricacies of setting up single sign-on (SSO) using the OpenID Connect option within the Elastic Stack environment. SSO is an essential authentication process that enables users to access multiple applications or services with a single set of credentials. This streamlined authentication approach not only enhances user experience by reducing password fatigue but also bolsters security by centralizing the authentication process.
OpenID Connect is an authentication layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It extends OAuth 2.0 capabilities with ID tokens, which provide additional user information. OpenID Connect is widely adopted due to its simplicity and extensibility, making it a preferred choice for implementing SSO. During this recipe, we will guide you through integrating OpenID Connect with Elastic Stack, providing a step-by-step approach to harness the power of SSO for enhanced security and streamlined...
