2. SSO protocol

You also need to select an SSO protocol. The protocols authenticate users, provide identity data for access control and function as a communication method for a user’s identity. SAML and OpenID Connect (OIDC) are the most widely used identity protocols for web-based SSO. Read about the difference between SAML and OIDC (OpenID Connect) if you want to know more. For Salesforce, we currently only have support for the SAML protocol.
