The easiest way to implement SAML in any app

What's this blog post about?

Implementing SAML (Secure Assertion Markup Language) in an application can be challenging due to the need for specialized knowledge and potential security threats. WorkOS offers a simpler solution with its SSO API, which handles identity and access management, reducing engineering time and ensuring compliance with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR. To implement SAML using WorkOS, users must sign up for an account, obtain an API key and Client ID, configure the SAML connection, add an endpoint to initiate SSO, and retrieve user profiles. With this approach, developers can easily extend support to other enterprise features like SCIM and JIT provisioning.
