Single Sign On using Oauth 2

Single Sign On using Oauth 2

We are running Moodle 3.4 on centos. 

We want to setup a single sign on using the Oauth 2, which means users will login to the moodle server via external server.

Is Oauth2 the correct method? From the documentations I read it seems like it is like authentication to login into the Moodle via Google or Facebook accounts instead.

Hope to get directed to the correct documentation for my SSO needs.


Thanks in advance.

Single sign on is just an added feature for whatever authentication method that you choose.  You are correct - oauth2 is for Google and FB logins.  How you set it up is dependent on what your users are using to log in on whatever system you are looking to SSO from.
