The many problems with implementing Single Sign-On

  A list of vendors that treat single sign-on as a luxury feature, not a core security requirement.

As others have pointed out, this article is both a) a valid problem, especially for small products breaking into enterprise and b) and advertisement for a product (WorkOS)

What I would be interested to know is: What open source alternatives exist which tackle this problem and how battle-tested are they (esp. given than SSO differs between org to org)? With a product I built, I just paid the Okta tax and had Okta handle all the complexity of integrating with external systems while providing a single interface for me to interact with (which on the surface is the same thing WorkOS promises), but if I'm inclined to build this out myself, what are the alternatives?

I see a lot of devs, especially on HN, complain about http://sso.tax, but until you build a product for exterprise, you'll really not understand the time and effort this takes (and all of this takes away time and effort that could be spent building your product)
