Single Sign-On for SugarCRM Through a SAML-Based Integration of OpenSSO and simpleSAMLphp
SugarCRM is a leading provider of commercial open source customer relationship management (CRM) software for companies of all sizes. SugarCRM's open source architecture allows companies to more easily customize and integrate customer-facing business processes in order to build and maintain more profitable relationships. SugarCRM offers several deployment options, including on-demand, on-premise and appliance-based solutions to suit customers' security, integration and configuration needs.
Thomas and Marina collaborate on this article, which describes Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) based single sign-on (SSO) integration between a PHP-based Service Provider(simpleSAMLphp) used by SugarCRM and OpenSSO(a Java language-based Identity Provider, and the only comprehensive open source solution for Web access management, federation and secure web services!). simpleSAMLphp is a service provider / relying party implementation based on PHP and in this case is configured to be used as SSO solution for SugarCRM.
