      Issue description

      Improvement feedback

      ====================

      A learner shared feedback regarding the Guided Exercise: Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) in the learning guide (exercise started using lab start products-sso).

      Currently, learners validate SSO functionality by running a script that returns an authentication token. While technically correct, this approach does not clearly demonstrate how SSO works in a real-world scenario and may feel abstract or unclear to learners.

      The learner suggested that the exercise would be more intuitive and practical if it demonstrated SSO through a browser-based login experience instead of relying on token script output.

      >> It seems that the result is unclear getting some "token" with a script. Would not it be better if you instead of a script used like
      1.
      install xauth and firefox on client machine

      2. Login to client with ssh -X idmuser03@client

      3. Run command "firefox" opens via X11

      4. Go to satellite.lab.example.com and it should automatically  login as idmuser03 for example

      Of course Satellite has to be configured so maybe just swap the next exercise "Intergrating IDM with RedHat Ansible" with the "SSO" that way everyone would get instant real life scenario feedback instead of token script feedback.

      Steps to reproduce:
