    Add this code to your theme’s (preferably a child theme) functions.php:

    add_filter('request', function ( $req ) {
        // if author archive request then redirect to author's site
	if (array_key_exists('author_name', $req )) {
		$url = get_user_by('slug', $req['author_name'])->user_url;
		if ('' != $url ) {
			wp_redirect( $url, 302 );
			exit;
		}
	}
	return $req;
});

    This uses the user URL that’s stored with the WP_User object which is input from the default user profile screen. I don’t know anything about the URL from your SSO plugin, so my code may need adaptation to use the URL you want.
