I am trying SSO between my application and zendesk. I am using openam for this purpose. Suppose app is deployed as app.myapp.com. And I want to have SSO feature with zendesk, whose URL could be something like accountname.zendesk.com. How do I setup openam configurations?
Whatever I have read in documentation is that, there should be a server with openam installed on it. And this will serve as Hosted Identity Provider. Now zendesk is going to be a service provider. This will be remote service provider. So how do I set this up? Should there be another instance of openam acting as remote service provider?
I tried configuring openam for 2 days, but openam documents are too abstract and I couldn't get it to work. Then I tried SSO using JWT i.e. JSON Web Token. Now Single sign on between my application and Zendesk is working fine.
