Web and Federated Single Sign-On Solution IBM Enterprise Identity Mapping: IBM: Free software: Yes: Works with Kerberos (e.g. Active Directory) and other authentication mechanisms to map different identities and hence allow single signon to all IBM server platforms (Windows, Linux, PowerLinux, IBM i, i5/OS, OS/400, AIX) even when the user name ...
A federated identity in information technology is the means of linking a person's electronic identity and attributes, stored across multiple distinct identity management systems. [1] Federated identity is related to single sign-on (SSO), in which a user's single authentication ticket, or token, is trusted across multiple IT systems or even ...
Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single SSO ID to any of several related, yet independent, software systems. True single sign-on allows the user to log in once and access services without re-entering authentication factors.
Traditional approaches to authorization and access control in computer systems are not sufficient to address the requirements of federated and distributed systems, where infrastructural support may be required. Authentication and authorization infrastructure solutions address such limitations.
An identity provider (abbreviated IdP or IDP) is a system entity that creates, maintains, and manages identity information for principals and also provides authentication services to relying applications within a federation or distributed network. [1] Identity providers offer user authentication as a service.
Identity management (ID management) – or identity and access management (IAM) – is the organizational and technical processes for first registering and authorizing access rights in the configuration phase, and then in the operation phase for identifying, authenticating and controlling individuals or groups of people to have access to applications, systems or networks based on previously ...
A CSP forms part of an authentication system, most typically identified as a separate entity in a Federated authentication system. A CSP may be an independent third party, or may issue credentials for its own use. [1] The term CSP is used frequently in the context of the US government's eGov and e-authentication initiatives. An example of a CSP ...
The IdP may use a username and password, or some other form of authentication, including multi-factor authentication. A directory service such as RADIUS , LDAP , or Active Directory that allows users to log in with a user name and password is a typical source of authentication tokens at an identity provider. [ 5 ]
