Drag & drop SSO provider for your app

Descope supports SSO at the customer organization level, so each of your customers can connect their own identity provider (like Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace) with independent SAML or OIDC configurations. Our SSO Setup Suite provides a wizard-like interface that allows your customers to configure their own SSO connections without needing hands-on support from your team.

Descope can act as both service provider (SP) and identity provider (IdP), sometimes in the same flow, supporting IdP-initiated and SP-initiated SSO. Users are routed to the correct IdP based on email domain or organization identifier. You can build and modify SSO journeys using Descope Flows, SDKs, and REST API (or any combination of these).

Descope supports SAML 2.0 and OIDC for enterprise SSO, with both IdP-initiated and SP-initiated flows. 

Descope can also function as an OIDC provider, allowing you to add SSO to third-party and hosted applications like Zendesk, Salesforce, and others to unify login experiences across disparate apps and identity providers.

Descope provides a self-service SSO Setup Suite, which can be shared with your customers’ admins. This standalone portal includes prebuilt, step-by-step guides for 15+ Identity providers, attribute mapping, domain verification through DNS checks, and a built-in testing tool that validates the full connection without requiring an end-to-end login process.

Customer admins can configure, manage, and test SSO and SCIM connections entirely on their own.

Yes. Descope can layer enterprise SSO on top of your existing authentication system without requiring code changes. If you’ve built homegrown auth, or if your current provider doesn’t support the SSO features you need, you can augment rather than migrate.

Full migration is supported if you choose that path later, and Descope’s migration tools make this a quick process.

Yes. Descope supports multiple IdP configurations per tenant, which is common in enterprises where a single customer may need to authenticate users through more than one identity provider. 

Each IdP can be configured independently with its own SAML or OIDC settings, attribute mappings, and SSO domains.

The best SSO solution for B2B SaaS should support SAML 2.0 and OIDC, multi-tenancy with per-tenant IdP configurations, self-service setup for customer admins, SCIM provisioning, and seamless migration from existing providers.

Descope ticks all of these boxes while also providing low/no-code implementation through Descope Flows, a visual editor for building and modifying identity journeys. Flows allows you to make changes to your SSO flows and deploy them without ever touching your codebase. 

In addition to all these capabilities, Descope can also act as an OIDC provider for identity federation across multiple applications.

Descope supports migrating existing SSO configurations from another auth provider or homegrown setup without requiring your customers to reconfigure their settings. The process preserves existing connections so your customers experience zero disruption.

While it can depend on your unique architecture, Descope is designed to minimize time to production. You can use prebuilt authentication flows, SDKs, or the REST API. For example, Notch implemented SSO with Descope and onboarded an enterprise customer in one day.

On the customer onboarding side, the SSO Setup Suite has sped up configuration enough that some Descope customers have completed full SSO setup with enterprise clients in as little as 15 minutes.
