The best signal that a feature is right is not that people ask for it. It is that people describe their problem in the shape of it before you have built anything.
This piece walks through how we think about it at Paycux, what we have changed our minds about, and where the sharp edges are.
What is SP-Initiated and IdP-Initiated SSO?
What is SP-Initiated and IdP-Initiated SSO? is where this gets concrete. Defaults are the product. Most people will never open the settings screen, which means the behaviour you chose for them is the behaviour they will experience forever.
Naming is design work. If the team argues about what to call something, the disagreement is usually about what it is, and shipping before that is settled means shipping the confusion to customers.
SP-initiated vs. IdP-initiated SSO: key differences
That brings us to sp-initiated vs. idp-initiated sso: key differences. Defaults are the product. Most people will never open the settings screen, which means the behaviour you chose for them is the behaviour they will experience forever.

- Choose defaults as carefully as features
- Settle the name before you ship the thing
- Ship the smallest honest version
- Say plainly what the feature does not do
How does SP-initiated SSO work?

How does IdP-initiated authentication work?
Consider how does idp-initiated authentication work?. Ship the smallest version that is honest about its limits. A feature that does one thing completely beats one that does five things with an asterisk on each.

How Paycux simplifies SP-initiated and IdP-initiated SSO
How Paycux simplifies SP-initiated and IdP-initiated SSO deserves its own treatment. Defaults are the product. Most people will never open the settings screen, which means the behaviour you chose for them is the behaviour they will experience forever.

Where this leaves us
None of this is exotic. It is the ordinary discipline of deciding what you own, writing down what you assume, and making the failures loud enough to notice.
If you are working through the same problem and want to compare notes, the docs cover the mechanics and the console shows the behaviour on your own data.
Everything here, already built
Sign-in, enterprise SSO, directory provisioning, roles and an audit trail behind one API. Start with the quickstart and have a working sign-in this afternoon.
