# OpenID Connect (OIDC) SSO is now supported

**Published on February 10, 2025**

In addition to SAML 2.0 support, we're pleased to announce that Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication via **OpenID Connect (OIDC)** is now supported in Daxium-Air.

## OIDC vs SAML 2.0: what's the difference?

Both protocols enable secure, password-free access through SSO, but they address different needs:

* **SAML 2.0** — ideal for large enterprises with traditional applications (intranets, business tools). It relies on XML exchanges and fits perfectly in environments already equipped with an Identity Provider (IdP) such as ADFS or PingFederate.
* **OIDC (OpenID Connect)** — a more modern and flexible solution, particularly suited to web and mobile applications. Based on OAuth 2.0, it offers a lighter, standardized mechanism using JSON tokens (JWT), making it easier to integrate with identity providers such as Azure AD, Okta, Google, Auth0, Keycloak, and others.

With this new option, you can now choose between SAML 2.0 and OIDC to meet your SSO requirements.
