Update:

The Single-Sign-On Dashboard referred in this article is now deprecated and has been replaced with the extension that can be found here: Auth0 Extension: Single Sign-On (SSO) Dashboard.

tl;dr: Control which apps your users can access with an SSO dashboard. Download the code or deploy to Heroku in 5 minutes.

Today, we are excited to announce the release of the Auth0 Open Source Single-Sign-On Dashboard. This SSO dashboard is designed to solve a problem familiar to many people. Organizations of all sizes maintain a variety of different applications to handle various business functions like accounting, HR, development, support, etc. Remembering usernames and passwords and login urls for all of these apps is a pain. With this app we take another step in simplifying the authentication experience.

  • Self-service user profile updates.
  • Administrator interface for configuring roles, apps, and users.

Completely Open Source

Our approach to this project, like many projects at Auth0, was to build this as an open source app. This approach gives our users the most flexibility while still being very easy to maintain and receive updates.
