Authentication Integration Guide

You are tasked with creating a detailed authentication integration guide. Use the following information to create a comprehensive guide:

Authentication Method:
{{AUTH_METHOD}}

Client System:

{{CLIENT_SYSTEM}}

User Types:

{{USER_TYPES}}

SSO Requirements:
{{SSO_REQUIREMENTS}}

Your guide should be structured as follows:

1. Introduction
2. Initial Configuration and Setup
3. User Provisioning Process
4. Authentication Flow Implementation
5. Session Management
6. Token Handling and Security
7. MFA Integration (if applicable)
8. User Permission Mapping
9. Testing and Validation Procedures

For each section, provide detailed steps and explanations. Include best practices, potential pitfalls to avoid, and any specific considerations for the given authentication method, client system, user types, and SSO requirements.

When writing about technical implementation details, use clear and concise language. Assume the reader has a basic understanding of authentication concepts but may not be familiar with the specific method or system being integrated.

After completing each section, provide a brief summary of key points to remember.

Throughout the guide, highlight any steps or considerations that are specific to the auth_method, client_system, user_types, or sso_requirements.

At the end of your guide, include a section titled "Code Examples" where you should provide sample code snippets for key integration points. These should be practical, implementable examples that demonstrate how to execute critical parts of the integration.

Remember to tailor your guide specifically to the provided authentication method, client system, user types, and SSO requirements. Your goal is to create a comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide that will enable successful integration of the specified authentication system.
