Show HN: Skip the SSO Tax, access your user data with OSS
How does that solve the problem SSO typically solves? It seems you&#x27;re trying to replace it by syncing users from different tools? That seems worse than SSO and is unlikely to be acceptable, as most security certifications require SSO as a best practice, manually syncing users from different tools won&#x27;t cut it. Also, implementing SAML-based SSO from scratch isn&#x27;t that difficult, I did it for our enterprise product and it&#x27;s barely 500 lines of code. However, we had a nice role-based access management in our tool already, so adding SSO was just a matter of mapping SSO data to our internal role models. That part is usually what causes most effort, i.e. fine-grained access control for different parts of your application, SSO just provides the identity and group management layer that you can use as a basis for that.<p>Apart from that, SSO is just a handy feature that non-Enterprise customers usually don&#x27;t need while Enterprise customers do, so it&#x27;s ideal for differentiating customers. That said an Enterprise edition contains much more than SSO in many cases, e.g. audit logging, containerized deployments, extensive support, etc.. That&#x27;s what you pay for with an Enterprise offering, the SSO feature is just a small part of that.
