Client: Confidential (Multinational Insurance Group) | Sector: Insurance | NAICS: 524113, 524114, 524126

Problem
- The group operated several employee portals in the U.S. division, each with separate access paths, producing login friction and mis‑routed sessions.
- The corporate IdP was Microsoft Office 365 SSO, but WordPress (the entry site) needed to honor the tenant SSO and then route users to the appropriate internal portal without exposing routing rules on the public edge.
Project Objectives
- Enable Microsoft Office 365 SSO on WordPress for U.S. employees.
- After successful sign‑in, determine destination portal through internal APIs using employee profile signals (e.g., region/address, BU).
- Keep the flow fast and transparent to end users.
Solution Applied
- We built a custom WordPress plugin that initiates Microsoft Office 365 SSO and, after token validation, calls internal APIs to request a routing decision based on the employee profile (e.g., address/region obtained from corporate directories).
- The plugin then performs a secure redirect to the target portal (or a safe default if no match). The internal policy and routing logic remain off‑site (centralized), minimizing configuration at the edge.
- The plugin is configuration‑light (tenant endpoints, internal API base URL, defaults) and designed for low maintenance.
