Enterprise SaaS buyers select differentiated services that are both secure by design and low cost to deploy. For SaaS builders, this means that delivering technologies with enterprise-ready identity plays a crucial role in winning enterprise RFPs. So how should product teams evaluate tradeoffs between building innovative core offerings versus developing interoperability and security needed for enterprise readiness?
The Auth0-powered SaaS Builder’s Answer: Publish App Identity Integrations to the Okta Integration Network
With the power of Auth0 for SaaS technologies and the Okta Integration Network, product differentiation does not come at the cost of enterprise identity-ready SaaS delivery.
The Okta Integration Network (OIN) is a catalog of greater than 8,000 SaaS integrations used by 20,000 Okta customers to administer workforce IAM controls across their stack. Free and easy for SaaS providers to publish an integration, the OIN allows them to signal their status as a trusted brand to prospects, and deliver enterprise identity-ready solutions to joint-Okta customers.
As part of the Okta platform product suite, Auth0 customers can leverage Auth0-specific solutions built for the OIN. For SaaS providers like Jamf and Augment Code, which are powered by Auth0, this means that the SaaS builders’ dilemma was addressed with a simple solution that allowed them to:
- Win business and signal enterprise identity-readiness with secure SaaS integrations published to the OIN
- Lower costs through interoperable deployments and lightning-fast customer onboarding with Auth0 + OIN Express Configuration
- Deliver identity security with out-of-the box Auth0 for SaaS technologies like universal logout
Jamf Reduces Customer Onboarding Time to Minutes with the Okta Integration Network
Watch how Auth0 customer, Jamf, did it: Jamf and Auth0: Enterprise Integrations with Express Configuration
Jamf helps over 78,000 customers worldwide manage and secure over 35 million Apple devices. As an Auth0 customer, by publishing Jamf Express Configuration to the OIN, Jamf gives every new enterprise customer a self-service, automated SSO integration instead of a manual, costly setup.
Jacob Schultz, Sr. Software Engineer for Identity at Jamf, stated the problem plainly:
“We had a lot of customers that ended up in multiple days back and forth with their IT teams, manually creating OIDC applications and passing secrets back and forth.”
– Jacob Schultz, Sr. Software Engineer for Identity, Jamf
Today, that identity integration with Jamf happens in a few clicks, freeing Jamf's team to spend more time on what its customers value most: securing their Apple devices.
Jamf helps customers secure millions of devices , and Auth0 integrations like Universal Logout help protect them. Universal Logout is what lets Jamf respond the instant an identity threat like session hijack occurs, not after a ticket gets filed.
“The security of our IT administrator sessions is of the utmost importance to Jamf. Universal Logout allows us to terminate those sessions across our entire platform.”
– Jacob Schultz, Sr. Software Engineer for Identity, Jamf
Universal Logout is what lets Jamf respond the instant an identity threat like session hijack occurs, not after a ticket gets filed.
Augment Code Signals Enterprise Ready-Identity via the Okta Integration Network
Watch how Auth0 customer, Augment Code, did it: Augment Code Accelerates Onboarding with Express Configuration.
As an AI native startup, Augment Code catalyzed enterprise engineering teams to work alongside AI agents. Augment Code differentiated on interoperability, and its resources were best spent on innovative AI technology, not manual customer onboarding processes. Augment Code’s Express Configuration and Partial Universal Logout publication to the OIN made new customer onboarding seamless and remains a market differentiator when it comes to answering prospect RFP questions about identity security.
Nico Triballier, Applied AI Solution Architect at Augment Code (now part of Harness), described what changed:
“Historically our enterprise onboarding process was fairly manual. We had to hop on Zoom with the customer, share some documentation, they had to copy paste a few things.”
– Nico Triballier, Applied AI Solution Architect, Augment Code
With Express Configuration and Universal Logout:
“The trust is built on day one. They just access the app from the catalog and, through a few clicks, configure Express Config. So no more Zoom calls, no more manual steps.”
– Nico Triballier, Applied AI Solution Architect, Augment Code
Augment Code SaaS can also respond to identity threats like cookie theft:
“We also support Universal Logout, so essentially, how can you revoke Augment’s session at the product level, but directed by Okta. Augment Code didn’t have to pause its roadmap to get here. The Auth0 capabilities behind Express Configuration and Universal Logout were already built into its stack. All that was left to do was publish the integration to the Okta Integration Network, where enterprise IT admins look first before they’ll trust a new app with their environment.”
– Nico Triballier, Applied AI Solution Architect, Augment Code
Harness, the Autonomous SDLC Platform™ company, recently acquired select Augment Code assets. The Auth0 and Okta Integration Network integration remains in place under Harness for now.
