Single Sign-On

One Login for Everything

Bare.ID offers the SSO solution for every modern IT landscape. One login instead of ten passwords. Less hassle for users, less effort for IT, more security for everyone.

Why Single Sign-On?

Why log in ten times when once is enough?

The login to your applications is the key to your IT. Single Sign-On is therefore a central foundation of Bare.ID's IAM platform. It unifies all your access points into one secure entry point – for employees, partners, or customers. This reduces complexity, lowers security risks, and improves the user experience.

Single Sign-On with Bare.ID

The advantages at a glance

Definition: Single Sign-On (SSO)

What is Single Sign-On?

Single Sign-On allows users to authenticate centrally once and then access all connected applications for which they are authorized, without re-logging in.  
The identity is securely transmitted to the respective systems via standards such as OpenID Connect, OAuth2, or SAML.

An everyday comparison:
Single Sign-On works like a master key that can open various doors – for individuals with the appropriate permissions.

Bare.ID Features for Single Sign-On

Features at a glance

From secure access and reduced IT effort to a consistent user experience – this is how we make it possible.

Standard-based Application Connectivity

Stay independent: Bare.ID connects applications via open standards like OIDC, SAML, and OAuth 2.0, and also integrates legacy or custom systems without native standard support. This creates central access to all applications – without proprietary dependencies or complex adaptations.

Unified connection via open, established protocols
Easy integration of existing and custom applications
Future-proof without vendor lock-in

Application Gallery & Integration Templates

Good news for admins: integration can be simple. Single Sign-On only delivers its full benefit when all applications are connected. That's why Bare.ID offers a wide selection of pre-configured integrations, as well as step-by-step guides and templates that significantly reduce implementation effort.

Quick start without deep technical knowledge
Consistent, error-free configurations
Expandable: new integrations upon customer request

Social Logins

Login without hurdles. With Social Login, Bare.ID enables sign-in via existing identities like Google, Apple, or Microsoft. Users quickly access your applications without additional registration – securely integrated into the central IAM platform. Especially in the B2C sector, this significantly reduces drop-offs and improves the user experience.

Easy to configure, big impact
Fewer drop-offs, better user experience
Quick start without new credentials

Login Branding

With Bare.ID, the login becomes entirely your own. Login masks, flows, and texts can be fully adapted to your corporate design as part of a white-label approach. Even multiple brands can be represented – despite being managed via a common platform.

Consistent brand presence across all applications
Higher user acceptance thanks to familiar UX
Easy customizability thanks to a low-code approach

Accessibility in Login

Your users come first: Bare.ID supports accessible login experiences and multilingualism. Bare.ID provides hints on potential barriers (e.g., insufficient color contrast) and is designed for use with screen readers. This way, Bare.ID helps implement accessibility requirements. Because logging in should never be a hurdle.

Simplified WCAG compliance
Comfortable user experience for everyone
Easy implementation

Identity Federation

Single Sign-On doesn't stop at organizational boundaries with us. Bare.ID enables the secure integration of external identities via existing identity providers like AD, Entra ID, or partner IdPs. This way, Single Sign-On works across organizational boundaries – without duplicate user accounts or separate logins.

Unified login across organizational boundaries
Reduced administrative effort by avoiding redundant accounts
Ideal for partner networks and government associations

Central Session & Token Management

Bare ID enables centralized control of sessions and tokens. Session duration, inactivity rules, and token renewal can be uniformly defined. Single Logout centrally terminates login sessions and supports logging out across connected applications. This way, you maintain control – even after login.

Reduced risks from forgotten sessions
Full transparency and control over active logins
Precise policies to support compliance requirements

User Self-Service for Login

"What was my password again?" Bare.ID centrally enables self-service for your users for passwords and all other MFA methods. Changes apply immediately to all connected applications. This allows changes to be made without IT intervention – consistently across the entire application landscape.

Fewer support tickets
Convenient user experience
Centralized management across all applications

Monitoring & Security Insights

For better login insights. Bare.ID continuously monitors authentication processes and helps detect unusual login behavior early. Password checks against Have I Been Pwned and integrated anomaly detection help quickly identify risks. The Security Score supports admins in securely configuring policies.

Early detection of insecure or compromised access
Transparency into login and authentication processes
Specific indications of misconfigurations and security risks
Multi-Factor Authentication

Better than any password: 
Integrated MFA

Bare.ID combines Single Sign-On with modern multi-factor authentication in a central IAM platform. Passwordless methods and adaptive security mechanisms are integrated from the start.

Questions and Answers

FAQs

Still have questions? Feel free to schedule a no-obligation discovery call.

How does Single Sign-On work with Bare.ID?

After a single login, Bare.ID provides a central session for each user, allowing them to access all connected applications. Bare.ID utilizes modern standards such as OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0. Session management is centralized, ensuring that logout also functions across all applications.

Which protocols are supported for SSO?

Bare.ID supports all relevant authentication protocols: OpenID Connect (OIDC), OAuth 2.1, SAML 2.0, and optionally Kerberos. This enables integration with virtually all modern and legacy applications. Additionally, further proprietary protocols can also be implemented.

How does Bare.ID integrate with existing user directories like Active Directory?

Existing directories can be connected via federation or synchronization. User and group changes are immediately available for all applications. Bare.ID can be operated as the primary system or integrated.

How does Bare.ID differ from Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)?

Bare.ID is a digitally sovereign, GDPR-compliant IAM platform developed and operated in Germany, focusing on data protection and integration freedom. Unlike Entra ID, Bare.ID is not subject to the US Cloud Act. Bare.ID covers hybrid scenarios (on-premises and multi-cloud) without requiring identities to be fully migrated to a US-based public cloud.

How does Single Sign-On improve security in companies?

SSO reduces the number of passwords and login processes. Centrally controlled authentication, MFA, and uniform policies lower the risk of weak or reused passwords. Accesses and sessions remain traceable and auditable.

Can offline or local applications also be connected?

Yes. Bare.ID supports offline scenarios. Tokens with longer validity can be issued and cached locally for this purpose. Synchronization occurs with the next online connection.

How does SSO relieve the IT department?

User management, roles, and policies are centrally controlled. Password resets, onboarding/offboarding, and approvals can be automated or handled via self-service. This significantly reduces tickets and manual tasks.

What is Step-up Authentication?

Step-up authentication allows for a renewed or stronger authentication to be required for particularly sensitive actions, even if the user already has an active SSO session. For example, a hardware token might be additionally required for financial transactions.
