Launch HN: SSOReady (YC W24) – Making SAML SSO painless and open source

Hey everyone, I'm Ulysse, CTO at SSOReady (https://github.com/ssoready/ssoready).

SSOReady is an open-source (MIT) service that lets you implement SAML single sign-on without ever touching SAML yourself. You just need to implement two API endpoints: one to initiate SAML logins and another to receive incoming SAML messages. And then you're pretty much done.

Here's me setting up SAML single sign-on in under a minute: ( " rel="nofollow">

You can use our service with whatever tech stack or programming language you prefer.

Earlier in my career, I worked on SAML authentication at Segment. I've been pretty obsessed with SAML since then. In the depths of the COVID pandemic, I even wrote an implementation of SAML in Go to entertain myself (https://github.com/ucarion/saml).

Over the years, I've gotten really itchy to build better SAML tooling. There just aren't a lot of great options out there. Almost no one seems interested in making SAML easy for developers. Almost no one seems interested in writing clear documentation.

We're hoping to change that with SSOReady. We've open-sourced our codebase on an MIT license. You can do pretty much whatever you want with the code. Fork us. Self-host us.

We've also made the product entirely free.

Why free and open source? We're focused solitarily on becoming developers' first choice for SAML SSO. If it makes developers' lives easier, it works for us. We expect to monetize in the future by building extra features that serve large companies with complex needs. We don't see any point to being secretive or squeezing dollars out of small companies.

I'd be thrilled if you gave the product a try, and I'd be really grateful for any feedback on your experience.

If you have any questions or concerns, my cofounder Ned and I will stay active on this thread throughout the day. You can also reach us directly at founders@ssoready.com. (We really mean this! We want to hear from you!)
