SSO Deep Dive
RCCE students will learn single sign-on architecture, implementation, and security including SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, Kerberos, federation protocols, and SSO session management. RCCE students will learn to design SSO architectures that balance user convenience with security, configure identity providers and service providers for SAML-based SSO, implement OIDC-based SSO for modern applications, troubleshoot SSO authentication failures, secure SSO sessions against hijacking and replay attacks, audit SSO configurations for misconfigurations, and respond to incidents involving SSO compromise including golden SAML attacks and session token theft. This deep-dive course provides comprehensive technical coverage that goes beyond surface-level understanding. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to master the nuances, edge cases, and advanced configurations that separate competent practitioners from true experts. Students will engage with complex real-world scenarios and gain the depth of knowledge required to troubleshoot difficult situations, mentor junior team members, and make architectural decisions with confidence.
