Maybe if slack didn't have an SSO tax, it wouldn't be an issue.

I’m honestly baffled this is a thing (but appreciate learning the condemning phrasing of “SSO Tax”).

We implemented federated auth support for Entra, ADFS, and OIDC straight out the gate in our project. It’s just a base platform feature, regardless of tier. Charging for it would be like charging for MFA/2FA. I mean, it’s great for us. I’d prefer if everyone used the feature. What the utter fuck are some vendors thinking?

I suspect it’s a cost/capability/requirements thing.

The larger the corporation, the more likely they’re going to have SSO as a minimum requirement. The more inflexible your customers are, the more you can charge.

That's more or less it.

For example, I've got somewhere around 700 users. If we don't have SSO (SAML preferred, oauth as a fall back, and good whiskey is required for ldap/ad) whatever your attempting to buy won't pass review. Now Timmy the sales drone knows that, and so does their leadership - hence the SSO tax.
