Single Sign On (SSO) Server
===========================
Do you need a PHP login system that rocks? Well, you found it.
This is Barebones SSO Server. An awesome, scalable, secure, flexible login system.
[](https://cubiclesoft.com/donate/) [](https://cubiclesoft.com/product-support/github/)
Features
--------
* Cross-domain and cross-server capable. The SSO server can reside on its own domain and host.
* Massively scalable architecture. Scale out to as many boxes/virtuals as you have available.
* Resilient architecture. Authenticated users can continue to work even if the server becomes unavailable.
* Resource friendly. Small memory footprint.
* Enables partial to complete compliance with various bodies of rules and laws including HIPAA, GDPR, PCI. Work in progress to achieve complete compliance.
* Integrates with a variety of backend databases via [CSDB](https://github.com/cubiclesoft/csdb).
* And much, much more. See the [full feature list](https://github.com/cubiclesoft/sso-server/blob/master/docs/all-features.md).
* Also has a liberal open source license. MIT or LGPL, your choice.
* Designed for relatively painless integration into your project.
* Sits on GitHub for all of that pull request and issue tracker goodness to easily submit changes and ideas respectively.
SSO Clients
-----------
* [PHP](https://github.com/cubiclesoft/sso-client-php)
* [ASP.NET (C#)](https://github.com/cubiclesoft/sso-client-aspnet)
* [Go (Golang)](https://github.com/gbl08ma/ssoclient)
Getting Started
---------------
The fastest way to get started without reading a lot of documentation is to download/'git pull' the server from this repository and a SSO client from the list above and then follow along with the four part video tutorial series:
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjPp_YVGttw&list=PLIvucSFZRDjgiSfsm707zn-bqKd64Eikb)
And use the [installation documentation](https://github.com/cubiclesoft/sso-server/blob/master/docs/install.md) as necessary.
According to users of this software, it takes about 3 hours to get a functional SSO server/client setup for the first time. Building an equivalent system from scratch would take approximately six months for a team of several people, have less flexibility, and probably have multiple security vulnerabilities.
