SSOGEN is an Auth0 alternative for customer sign-in and for workforce and AI agent access, in one product. Customers sign in with their own identity provider, a social account or a hosted account. Employees, contractors and AI agents use the same directory, policies and audit trail, and every account carries a user type, so a customer is never mistaken for staff.

Auth0 and SSOGEN side by side

What you need	Auth0	SSOGEN
Business customers with their own identity provider	Organizations, each with its own federation and lightweight branding	A SAML or OpenID Connect connection per customer, routed by email domain; accounts created on first sign-in as Customer
Customers with a social account	Social login with existing credentials from a provider such as Google	Social providers from the identity provider gallery
Customers with no identity provider	Universal Login with signup and login prompts	Self sign-up with approval, or an invitation by email; hosted accounts with a password, a passkey, an authenticator or an emailed sign-in link
Employees and contractors	Enterprise connections such as SAML, OpenID Connect, ADFS, Active Directory/LDAP and Okta Workforce	The same directory and policy engine as customers, with any SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect application
Custom decisions at sign-in	Actions: tenant-specific Node.js functions run at triggers	An authentication policy per application, with a What if check
AI agents	Token Vault stores and refreshes OAuth 2.0 tokens for external services	Agents with owners, recorded consent and a kill switch

Each customer organization gets a group, and each application is assigned to the groups that may open it. The sign-in route depends on what the customer brings.

Your customer has	How they sign in
Their own SAML or OpenID Connect provider	They type their email address, SSOGEN routes them to their provider by domain, and the account is created on the first sign-in with user type Customer
Several organizations, each with a provider	Each provider is a connection; one application accepts several, and every person reaches their own
A social account	A social provider from the gallery signs them in with the account they already use
No identity provider	A hosted account in the SSOGEN directory, from an invitation by email or self sign-up with approval, with a password, a passkey, an authenticator or an emailed sign-in link

The full setup, from groups to leavers, is on customer identity and access management.

Where Auth0 is strong

Organizations. Auth0 says the feature “best supports business-to-business (B2B) implementations”, with roles assigned to members of each organization.
Universal Login. Page templates, themes, signup and login prompts and other text are customizable in the Dashboard.
Actions. Node.js code runs at triggers such as Post Login and Pre User Registration.
Token Vault. It “stores, retrieves, and automatically refreshes OAuth 2.0 tokens for external services”.

Where SSOGEN differs

One directory for everyone. Employees, contractors, partners and customers share one directory, kept apart by user type and group.
The customer’s own provider. A customer keeps its own sign-in page and password rules; SSOGEN routes by email domain.
Policy, not code. Each application has an authentication policy for providers, factors and a second step, and What if checks any decision in advance.
AI agents with owners. Every agent has a human owner, acts only with recorded consent, and one switch stops a whole type of agent. See AI agent identity.
Business systems included. The Web Agent protects Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards; App Proxy and browser SSH, RDP and VNC share the same console.
Your choice of home. Run SSOGEN on your own servers or have it hosted, from the same release.

SSOGEN has been in production since 2016, and Microsoft lists it in the Microsoft Entra gallery.

Moving from Auth0 to SSOGEN

List the applications in the Auth0 tenant and mark who signs in to each: customers, staff or both.
Map each Organization to a customer group and a SAML or OpenID Connect connection with the customer’s email domains, user type Customer.
Map social connections to social providers from the gallery.
Bring hosted users across by CSV import or SCIM. A CSV file can carry each person’s existing password hash (bcrypt or PBKDF2, for example), so people keep signing in with the password they know; people without a hash get an email to set one. See Users and directory sync and SCIM.
Map each Action to a rule in the application’s authentication policy.
Pilot first. A pilot group signs in to every application through SSOGEN before the remaining users move.

Auth0 as the upstream provider during a move

SSOGEN accepts Auth0 as an upstream OpenID Connect provider, so existing accounts keep working while applications move. The steps follow the OpenID Connect provider guide:

In Auth0, create a Regular Web Application, the type Auth0 describes as “traditional web apps that perform most of their application logic on the server”.
Set its Allowed Callback URLs to the Redirect URI the SSOGEN wizard shows, character for character.
Allow the scopes openid, profile and email, and note the client ID and client secret.
Open your Auth0 domain’s /.well-known/openid-configuration and give SSOGEN the issuer value exactly as shown.
Validate, Test and Try signing in before you activate the provider.

Add a sign-in restriction with a required claim, so that only users from the right tenant sign in. OIDC providers with SSOGEN explains the claim mapping.

Questions people ask

Customers sign in with their own SAML or OpenID Connect provider, a social provider from the gallery, or a hosted account with a password, a passkey, an authenticator or an emailed link. Accounts carry user type Customer, and each application decides who may open it.

Can customers and employees use the same SSOGEN?

Yes. They share one directory, policy engine and audit trail, and stay apart by user type and group. The console filters the directory by type, so a customer is never mistaken for staff.

Can each customer organization use its own identity provider?

Yes. Each provider is a connection with its own email domains. One application accepts several connections, and every person is routed to their own provider.

Is Auth0 a workforce identity provider?

Auth0 lists enterprise connections, and its overview names a scenario where employees sign in to internal and third-party applications. SSOGEN serves that workforce case and customer sign-in from the same product.

How do Token Vault and SSOGEN agent identity differ?

Auth0’s Token Vault holds a user’s tokens for external services. SSOGEN governs which agent may call your own systems, for which person, with the owner’s consent recorded.
