Hi, we’re planning to split out our ERP and order fulfilment out of Magento, but this leaves us with a puzzle – If the 3rd party ERP has all the latest info about a customer’s order history and shipments, how can we authenticate them to see this? We don’t want to push all order edits back to Magento, so we will show their order details from the ERP in a customer portal in an iframe on the Magento site, but we need the login to be the same. We also need customers to be able to log in to Magento during checkout to pull their address book.
Is it advisable for us to set up Magento as an identity provider somehow and get the ERP to link into that, or would you recommend using a 3rd party SAML service like Auth0 and getting both Magento and ERP to use that for authentication? I’ve searched around, but can’t find many obvious solutions from well known companies. I guess it’s a bit of a niche requirement.
