The following code flow diagrams provide a high-level overview of the three SSO methods currently supported by the ReadiNow platform.
For a comprehensive explanation of SSO concepts and configuration within the ReadiNow platform, refer to the SSO documentation
SAML
SAML identity provider flow overview.
This diagram illustrates the SSO process when using a SAML identity provider. The data flow is largely consistent for both internal and external configurations. The key difference is in how metadata is retrieved: external configurations obtain metadata directly from the identity provider, while internal configurations source it from the local file repository.
OIDC
Internal Identity Provider
Implicit code flow for internal OIDC.
This diagram shows the flow used when configuring an internal OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider. In this configuration, the ReadiNow platform does not initiate direct communication with the identity provider.
External Identity Provider
Authorization code flow for external OIDC.
This diagram illustrates the flow used when integrating an external OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider. It assumes that the ReadiNow server can establish direct communication with the identity provider.
