The challenge

What the client needed

Legacy authentication had to move to modern identity, with SAML single sign-on across multiple providers, without locking a single user out during business hours.

How we delivered it

  1. Identity platform built on Azure AD B2C and IdentityServer
  2. Six SAML and OAuth 2.0 integrations configured and tested per provider
  3. Phased cutover by user group, with the legacy path kept live until each group was proven
  4. Rollback rehearsed before every phase

Results

  • 3,000 users migrated
  • Zero minutes of downtime
  • Six SSO integrations

Technology

  • Azure AD B2C
  • SAML 2.0
  • OAuth 2.0
