Overview

SSO integrations enable partners to seamlessly authenticate users to sFOX and utilize sFOX's front end

Introduction

sFOX Connect SSO enables you to:

1. Onboard and authenticate your users to sFOX

2. Interact with your users' sFOX accounts (i.e. trading, custody, staking, etc.)

3. Leverage sFOX's front end application for your users as desired

sFOX Connect supports Identity Provider (IdP) initiated single sign-on (SSO)–a method of authentication that allows your users to log in to sFOX using a single set of credentials. You, the IdP, are responsible for providing the user's identity and providing the necessary authentication credentials to the sFOX application when your user wants to access it.

In an IdP-initiated SSO scenario, the user first logs in to your application (the IdP), which then sends an authentication request to the sFOX application on behalf of your user. sFOX then verifies that the authentication request originated from you and grants your user access without requiring the user to leave your application or enter their credentials again.

sFOX Connect SSO supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) for exchanging authentication and authorization information between the your application (IdP) and sFOX.

How it works

SSO integrations involve using both an iframe and server side component to access the sFOX Connect APIs.

The sFOX Connect flow begins when your user wants to access sFOX's products and features in your app
