Why this program matters

  • Without SSO control, companies manually manage thousands of passwords, exposing them to 81% of breaches due to credential stuffing according to Verizon DBIR.

  • Teams lose 25% of productive time on password resets, at an average cost of 50k€/an per SME.

  • In 2024, 65% of security incidents stem from weak authentication, threatening GDPR compliance and fines up to 4% CA.

  • Every delay widens the competitive gap against secure and agile rivals.

Program

SSO curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : SSO Fundamentals: SAML, OAuth, OIDC Protocols (Keycloak, debugging tools)

Dive into the basics of SSO protocols with SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. Install Keycloak as an identity provider, configure a first simple authentication flow, test federated scenarios on real enterprise cases, analyze flows with Wireshark and Postman, and produce a diagram of your first operational SSO to validate practical skills.

Module 2 : SSO IdP Configuration: Keycloak/Okta Setup (federation, users, MFA)

Install and configure a complete SSO IdP with Keycloak or Okta, integrate LDAP/Active Directory for user synchronization, enable multi-factor authentication, configure realms and clients for enterprises, perform exercises on multi-domain federation, generate certificates and metadata, and test single sign-on on simulated applications with detailed logs for diagnostics.

Module 3 : SSO SP Integration: Web Applications/APIs (Spring Security, Nginx)

Integrate SSO on the service provider side with Spring Security for Java apps, configure Nginx as an SSO proxy, implement SAML/OIDC handlers for login/logout, test federated single logout on an application cluster, develop the ongoing project with protected REST APIs, analyze performance and common errors, and produce an integration report ready for enterprise production.

Module 4 : Advanced SSO Security: Attacks, Audits, Compliance (OWASP, SIEM)

Analyze SSO attacks such as CSRF, session fixation, and replay attacks using OWASP ZAP tools, strengthen configurations against zero-trust vulnerabilities, integrate SIEM logging for real-time monitoring, audit your SSO setup with automated scanners, apply GDPR best practices, simulate incidents on real enterprise cases, and develop a personalized, documented hardening plan.

Module 5 : Production SSO Deployment: Scaling, Monitoring, Troubleshooting (Kubernetes, Prometheus)

Deploy SSO in a Kubernetes cluster with high availability, configure Prometheus/Grafana monitoring for SSO metrics, automate with Ansible/Terraform, resolve common failures through live troubleshooting, migrate legacy authentication to modern SSO, finalize the ongoing project with CI/CD deployment, and deliver complete assets including playbook and dashboard for immediate enterprise use.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your SSO training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
