SSO PHP Jobs
Job listings mentioning SSO (Single Sign-On) are aimed at PHP developers skilled in implementing authentication systems that allow users to log in to multiple applications with a single set of credentials. This streamlines user experience and centralizes identity management, making it a common requirement for enterprise applications and service ecosystems.
Implementing SSO Solutions in PHP
A PHP developer tasked with implementing SSO will work with standard identity protocols like SAML, OAuth 2.0, or OpenID Connect (OIDC). Responsibilities include integrating third-party libraries, configuring the PHP application as a Service Provider (SP), and communicating with an Identity Provider (IdP) like Okta, Auth0, or Active Directory. The role requires a strong grasp of security concepts to handle identity tokens, user sessions, and data exchange securely.
Essential SSO Skills and Protocols
Proficiency in the following areas is highly sought after:
- Deep understanding of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flows.
- Experience with SAML 2.0 for enterprise-level integrations.
- Using PHP libraries for SSO integration (e.g., `league/oauth2-client`, `onelogin/php-saml`).
- Knowledge of JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for securely transmitting information.
- Configuring Identity Providers and Service Providers to establish trust and communication.
