Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without SSO mastery, companies manually manage thousands of passwords, causing 81% of breaches according to Verizon DBIR 2023.

  • Teams lose 25% productivity on authentication resets, with annual costs exceeding 50k€ per SME.

  • 70% of security incidents stem from fragmented authentication, exposing data and RGPD compliance to massive fines.

  • Every quarter without SSO widens the competitive gap, risking customer losses and stalled careers against certified profiles.

Program

SSO curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : SSO Fundamentals: Protocols and Architectures (SAML, OAuth, OIDC)

Dive into SSO principles to centralize authentication, explore SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect through interactive diagrams, set up a test environment with Keycloak and Okta, perform practical exercises on simple authentication flows, produce an SSO architecture diagram for your company, and validate concepts with concrete identity federation cases.

Module 2 : SAML SSO Implementation: Configuration and Integration (IdP, SP)

Install and configure a SAML Identity Provider using tools like Shibboleth and Azure AD, integrate a Service Provider via Apache/Nginx connectors, test SSO and SLO flows in real conditions, manage metadata and certificates, apply exercises to legacy web applications, and generate a certifying SSO test report demonstrating multi-vendor compatibility.

Module 3 : OAuth/OpenID SSO: Secure Authorization and Tokens (Scopes, Consents)

Master OAuth 2.0 for APIs using grants like Authorization Code and Client Credentials, implement OpenID Connect for user identity with libraries like oidc-client-js, configure clients on Auth0 and Google Identity, simulate delegated access scenarios in groups, develop a mobile app SSO prototype, and analyze JWT tokens for professional validation.

Module 4 : SSO Security: Attacks, Hardening, and Compliance (OWASP, GDPR)

Identify common SSO vulnerabilities like CSRF and session fixation with OWASP demos, strengthen configurations with MFA and advanced encryption, audit existing deployments using tools like SAML Tracer, apply GDPR best practices for consent management, perform a security audit on the red thread project, and produce a tailored SSO hardening plan for your company.

Module 5 : Advanced SSO Deployment: Scaling, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting

Deploy SSO in a high-availability cluster with Docker and Kubernetes, integrate monitoring via ELK Stack and Prometheus to trace authentication failures, resolve real troubleshooting cases like clock mismatches, migrate legacy infrastructure to hybrid SSO, finalize the red thread project with CI/CD deployment, and obtain an SSO skills certificate to highlight your professional expertise.

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.
