How to do single sign-on with PHP?

Single sign-on (SSO) allows users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications without having to re-enter their credentials. To implement SSO with PHP, you can use a library or framework such as SimpleSAMLphp or the PHP Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Toolkit. These libraries provide the necessary functionality for implementing SSO, such as creating and parsing SAML assertions and communicating with a SAML identity provider.

You will also need to set up an identity provider (IdP) that your PHP application can communicate with. The IdP is responsible for authenticating users and providing the necessary information to your application to grant access.

You can use an existing identity provider such as Okta or OneLogin, or you can set up your own using software such as OpenAM or FreeIPA.
