An Identity Provider (IdP) is a service for storing and managing digital identities. Once integrated with the Digibee Integration Platform, it enables the exchange of authentication and authorization information so that the access manager can centrally organize and control access for its users.
Here are some examples of IdPs:
Active Directory (AD)
Azure AD Native
Once your identity provider is integrated with the Digibee Integration Platform, it will be possible to access the following functionalities:
Single Sign-On: eliminates the need to manage multiple password repositories.
Integrated authentication: enables verification of Platform access by the IdP itself, centralizes information, and facilitates access management.
Integrated authorization: enables an external IdP to not only authenticate users, but also set the scope of access to the Platform resources. When this feature is enabled, the realm is considered federated.
Authentication rules: sets rules for user authentication. You can specify, for example, that users authenticate only through IdP or with Digibee and IdP. To learn more, read the documentation about Authentication rules.
Ensure that the Identity Provider supports the SAML 2.0 protocol before integrating it with Digibee.
