Single Sign On from ASP.NET site to Joomla

[atuarram]

We have 2 websites, website A is primary site and website B is Joomla site. This is what we are trying to accomplish:

1. New user registers on WEBSITE A
2. When new user is created then a new user is created on WEBSITE B (joomla)
3. New user logs in on WEBSITE A clicks link to WEBSITE B and user is already logged in.

WEBSITE A is a ASP.Net site

Is there a plugin available? I looked at miniOrgane but I am unfamiliar with SAML. Can anyone point me in the right direction or have a secure solution?

No need to be worried about the SAML 2.0 protocol, it is a de facto standard in SSO implementations.

If you have an Identity Provider (IDP) application, authenticating logins from Active Directory (AD) or a third party service, for example OpenAM or PingIdentity, the paid version of the miniOrange SSO plugin does the job.

When a Joomla user clicks the SSO button or browses to a page accessible only to registered users, the SSO plugin creates a user profile on the fly, after looking up the details from the central directory.

Please note that the paid version of miniOrange is non-GPL and therefore not available from JED. The PHP code and the libraries are proprietary, in fact obfuscated, but in my experience the miniOrange support works well.
