Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When SSO is configured as the only method on a Netbird reverse proxy service, users are still presented with an option to choose an 'Authentication Method', that only shows the SSO button. This step, whilst great for multiple choice authentication methods, seems unnecessary for SSO only option authentication.

Describe the solution you'd like
When SSO is the only configured method for a service, the Netbird Authentication option page should be skipped entirely and the user should be directed to the SSO/IdP service. The selection page makes sense for multiple options or a PIN or password only (setup in Netbird), but not for SSO.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not a alternative I've considered, but maybe setting an option or ENV varibale where we can toggle this would make the experience a lot nicer for the end user.

Additional context

The current behaviour shows the 'Powered by Netbird' auth even when SSO is enabled, which requires an extra unnecessary click.

Having a bypass option would be great. I have a vps that has monitoring agents installed. Allowing it's IP to bypass to the monitoring server would be great
