SSOGEN / App Gallery: the SSO app catalog in the SSOGEN Admin Console

SSOGEN

App Gallery: the SSO app catalog in the SSOGEN Admin Console

Search 105 application and Oracle ERP entries, pick a card, and the registration wizard opens with the name, icon, category and protocol in place.

The App Gallery in the SSOGEN Admin Console: a search for Workday, the protocol filter and 14 category buttons

Applications > App Gallery: search by name, vendor or keyword, filter by protocol and category, then select the card.

The App Gallery is the SSO app catalog built into the SSOGEN Admin Console, under Applications > App Gallery. It holds 102 SaaS applications and 3 Oracle ERP products. The same catalog supplies 9 enterprise identity providers to Add identity provider. A card is a head start, never a requirement: any SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect application connects without one.

105 entries in 14 categories

What a card fills in

Every card starts the registration for you. The difference between cards appears in the wizard.

What the card does Every card Sentry, Microsoft Entra ID, Keycloak
Name, category, logo and protocol Filled in Filled in
Link to the vendor’s own SSO guide On the card On the card
Vendor values (sign-in address, attribute that names the person) Copied from the vendor’s guide Filled in
What you type The connection values from the vendor’s guide Only your own details, such as a tenant ID or an organization slug

The Sentry card, for example, asks for one field, the organization slug, and builds Sentry’s assertion consumer service address from it.

From card to working sign-in

  1. Open Applications > App Gallery and type a name, a vendor or a keyword.
  2. Select the card. The Register application wizard opens with the card’s details and its logo as the My Apps icon.
  3. Open the vendor’s guide from the card at the top of the wizard and enter its values on the Connection step.
  4. Choose a sign-in policy and the attribute that names the person.
  5. Run Try it to see what the application would receive. Nobody is signed in.
  6. Select Activate application. The tile appears in My Apps for everyone assigned.

No card for your application? The Custom SAML application and Custom OpenID Connect application tiles under Custom app open the same wizard empty. A Bookmark tile adds a link that opens after sign-in.

Oracle ERP cards bring the Oracle profile

The App Gallery filtered to ERP, showing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, Oracle E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft

An application added from the Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft or JD Edwards card receives the Oracle identity profile through the Web Agent, with an upper-case user name. Any other Web Agent application receives the standard profile. Step-by-step setup lives on the Oracle ERP single sign-on pages.

Nine enterprise identity providers

SSO policies > Identity providers > Add identity provider lists these providers in this order. A provider that offers both protocols asks first how people should sign in, with SAML selected.

Provider Protocols on the card
Microsoft Entra ID SAML or OpenID Connect; the OpenID Connect template asks for the Directory (tenant) ID and fills in the issuer and scopes
Okta SAML or OpenID Connect
Ping Identity SAML or OpenID Connect
OneLogin SAML or OpenID Connect
Auth0 SAML or OpenID Connect
Google Cloud Identity SAML or OpenID Connect
Cisco Duo SSO SAML or OpenID Connect
AWS IAM Identity Center SAML
Keycloak SAML or OpenID Connect; the OpenID Connect template asks for the Keycloak host and realm and fills in the rest

SSOGEN is a complete identity provider on its own. These cards serve organizations that keep an existing provider as the sign-in source.

A signed catalog

  • Each entry ships as a signed archive, and a signed index lists the entries SSOGEN may offer.
  • An entry that fails its checks is held back: it never reaches the catalog.
  • A withdrawn entry stays in the index as withdrawn and is never offered again.
  • Logos are the vendors’ own marks, used only to identify the product. A card without a logo shows a lettermark.

Three parts of SSOGEN answer three different questions.

Questions people ask

What is an SSO app?
An SSO app is an application that trusts an identity provider to sign people in, so one sign-in opens many applications. In SSOGEN it is any application registered under Applications, over SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, the Web Agent or the App Proxy. People open it from a tile in My Apps without typing its password again.
What is an app catalog?
An app catalog is a list of ready-made application entries inside an identity product. Each entry names the application and fills in part of its single sign-on setup. In SSOGEN the catalog is the App Gallery: 105 application and ERP entries in 14 categories, searchable by name, vendor, keyword, protocol and category.
Can you SSO into a mobile app?
Yes. A mobile app signs in through SSOGEN with OpenID Connect, using the authorization code flow with PKCE, which SSOGEN requires for every OpenID Connect client. Register it with the Custom OpenID Connect application tile and give it a redirect address. People then sign in with the same account and policy as on the web.
What are some examples of SSO?
Signing in once and then opening Microsoft 365, Salesforce and Workday without another password is single sign-on. In SSOGEN, SaaS applications connect over SAML or OpenID Connect, Oracle E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft connect through the Web Agent, and internal applications connect through the App Proxy on the SSOGEN Gateway.
Do I need a gallery card to connect an application?
No. A card saves typing; it is not a requirement. Any application that speaks SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect registers with the custom tiles and the same eight-step wizard. Applications behind Apache or Oracle HTTP Server connect through the Web Agent, and private applications through the App Proxy.
