Are you confused about the difference between Federated Identity and Single Sign-On (SSO)? You’re not alone. While both deal with authentication and access control, they solve fundamentally different architectural challenges.
In this video, we break down Federated Identity vs. SSO with real-world developer examples, protocol overviews (SAML, OAuth, OIDC), and clear diagrams so you can design secure identity systems with confidence.
💡 What You’ll Learn
The core technical definitions of SSO and Federated Identity
Key differences: Single domain vs. Cross-domain trust relationships
How identity providers (IdPs) operate across enterprise boundaries
Real-world protocols: SAML, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and OAuth 2.0
