Introduction

The JSON Web Token (JWT) Single Sign-on (SSO) plugins are designed to work in a pair and enable authentication in Joget using a JSON Web Token payload to allow users to single sign-on (SSO) to Joget using another Joget as the Identity Provider (IdP).

The solution comes in 2 types of plugins and 1 Joget application.

You can find the plugin's source code at: 

GitHub: JWT SSO Directory Manager
