GitHub approach

  • If the GitHub user's session with the IdP provider has expired:
    • Visit organization homepage: shows SSO page
    • Visit page in private or public repo: shows SSO page
    • E-mail notifications from private or public repo: receives as normal
    • Web notifications from private or public repo: asks to single sign-on to view
  • If anonymous:
    • Visit organization homepage: shows as normal (GitHub organization cannot be private)
    • Visit page in public repo: shows as normal
    • Visit page in private repo: shows 404 page
