Identity Federation: Simplifying Authentication and Authorization Across Systems

In today’s digital age, organizations rely on a variety of applications and systems to carry out their business operations. However, managing user identities and access across multiple systems can be a complex and time-consuming process. This is where identity federation comes in, offering a solution to simplify authentication and authorization across systems.

Identity federation is a mechanism that allows different identity management systems to share authentication and authorization information in a secure and standardized way. It enables users to access multiple applications or systems using a single set of credentials without having to sign in to each individual system separately. This not only simplifies the user experience but also reduces the administrative burden of managing user identities and access across multiple systems.
