SSO Providers

SSO (Single Sign On) Providers

Providers

• Auth0

  • https://auth0.com/

• AWS Cognito

  • http://aws.amazon.com/cognito

Pros:

• Have someone manage your user accounts for you

  • (Security, balancing, availability)

• They take care of the CRUD

Auth0

• Prettier interface

• Better documentation

Options

• https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/webapp/nodejs

• https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/backend/hapi/01-authorization

AWS Cognito

• Cheaper

• "Drier" / Bleak interface

• Confusing as hell

• You can give individual users IAM roles

• Can be configured with serverless

  • But not all configuration options

Cons:

• You may only be able to log in to one SSO at a time.

  • This is bad if you want to attache one user account to multiple providers
