sso (S.S. Octopus) is a single sign-on solution built at BuzzFeed for securing internal services behind OAuth-based authentication. It acts as an authentication proxy in front of internal web applications.
Use cases
- add single sign-on to internal services
- protect internal dashboards with oauth authentication
- secure internal apps behind google sso
- centralize authentication for microservices
- require employee login before accessing internal tools
When to choose
- you already run sso and maintain your own fork
- you need a proven go-based oauth proxy pattern to study
When to avoid
- you are starting a new deployment - the project is no longer maintained
- you want active support or security updates
- consider modern alternatives like Pomerium instead
