Overview
Enterprise customers expect SSO: employees sign in with their corporate identity, and access is granted and revoked centrally. We add SAML and OIDC SSO to SaaS products and internal applications, including self-service configuration for customer admins, SCIM user provisioning, just-in-time provisioning and role mapping — a common requirement in enterprise sales.
Common use cases
- Enterprise-ready SaaSSSO and SCIM for enterprise deals.
- Internal application SSOUnified access to internal tools.
- Mergers and consolidationUnifying identity across acquired systems.
- Partner accessFederated access for partner organisations.
Quick answers
Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is single sign-on (SSO) integration?
- SSO for SaaS products and internal applications using SAML and OIDC, with SCIM provisioning for enterprise customers.
- Who is it for?
- Typically startups building a first product, scale-ups extending a platform, and enterprises replacing or modernising internal software.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- SAML & OIDC
- Self-service setup
- SCIM provisioning
- Role mapping
- Enforcement options
- Audit logging
- Which technologies are used?
- Keycloak, OAuth 2.0 & OIDC, OpenAPI, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Contract design → Security model → Implementation → Testing → Developer experience.
- What affects the cost?
- Number of user roles and core workflows
- Platforms (web, iOS, Android)
- Third-party integrations
- Design depth and accessibility targets
- Data migration from existing systems
- Performance, scale and uptime requirements
- How long does it take?
- An MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks; larger platforms are delivered in phases with a usable release every few weeks.

Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for API, integration & distributed systems, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Versioning strategyBackward-compatible evolution and clear deprecation policies.
- IdempotencySafe retries for operations with side effects.
- ObservabilityTracing across services and per-consumer usage metrics.
- SecurityOAuth 2.0 scopes, input validation and rate limiting on every endpoint.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Contract design
API specifications (OpenAPI, GraphQL schema, protobuf) agreed before implementation.
- 2
Security model
Authentication, authorisation scopes and threat model defined up front.
- 3
Implementation
Services, gateway configuration and SDKs built against the contract.
- 4
Testing
Contract, load and security tests automated in CI.
- 5
Developer experience
Documentation, sandboxes and change logs for API consumers.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Secure SDLC
Code review, dependency scanning and secrets kept out of source control.
Authentication
Proven identity providers, MFA and least-privilege roles.
OWASP coverage
Protection against common web and API vulnerabilities, verified in testing.
Backups & recovery
Automated backups with tested restore procedures.

Frequently asked questions
Which identity providers are supported?
Any standards-compliant SAML 2.0 or OIDC provider, including the major enterprise identity platforms.
What is SCIM?
System for Cross-domain Identity Management — a standard that lets identity providers create, update and deactivate users in your application automatically.
REST, GraphQL or gRPC?
REST is the most interoperable choice for public and partner APIs. GraphQL suits product frontends that aggregate many resources. gRPC suits high-throughput internal service communication. Many platforms use all three in different places.
Do you document APIs?
Yes. We produce machine-readable specifications, human-readable reference docs, guides and examples, and can publish a developer portal.
