Out of curiosity, do you know of open source projects or any resources that someone less familiar with SSO can use/read to properly implement SSO?
IdentityServer4 [0] is no longer maintained [1] but had SSO support and the source is still on github.
[0] - https://identityserver4.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
[1] - They had to go commercial to stay afloat, there wasn't enough contributions from community/etc. That said it's pretty cheap for what it does in the .NET space.
