Hi Greg, I’m interested to understand why you think that “geared towards APIs” is a bad thing. I understand that the first thing developers typically want to do is authenticate users so that they can open the front door and get in the app. However, this is meaningless if you don’t then use the issued token when connecting to the backend APIs. This is the reason that AuthO focusses on the API side of things – they’re attempting to ensure developers build their authentication in a way that the issued token can just be presented as part of calls to the backend API.
Hope this makes sense?

If I make any startling discoveries in coming weeks I'll report back in case it helps others attempting SSO. GK P.S. I did try Auth0 about 4 years ago, but it was so over-featured and geared towards "APIs" that I couldn't identify the possibly useful bits of it. And the documentation was so full of jargon and assumptions that it would have quicker to learn advanced homological algebra.
