Good Morning 😀 We currently use Auth0 to manage user identities and their universal login flow to authenticate users for access to our application, and to connected services like knowledge base, learning management, and other tools not native to our application. The KB and LMS systems are SaaS products from companies like Zendesk, Zoho Desk, Docebo etc that allow configuration to connect via SAML to a SAML IDP. Specific example: Zoho Desk hosts a help center web app that maintains its own user list, authentication of users is handled by Auth0 acting as IDP and Zoho acts as service provider. User clicks login in KB, is redirected to a login page hosted by Auth0, authenticates, and is redirected back to Zoho KB with the appropriate saml assertions, and is granted access to Zoho KB. Auth0 is SAML identity provider, and Zoho is the SAML service provider in this case. Can we use Descope in the same manner as Auth0? IE can we configure Descope to act as SAML identity provider to unify login to multiple SaaS apps with same credentials that they use to access our application?

Hi Adam. Descope cannot yet become a SAML IdP, but this is something we are actually working on (on our roadmap). However, if those support OIDC (Open ID Connect), Descope can be the OIDC Provider for those users.

Ahh gotcha, thanks for the info. Is it planned enough to give an idea when that would be in prod?

We are still working on a firm timeline for the feature. We are collecting details from customers on this to prioritize.
