Identity & Service providers

Description

Soffid Identity Federation addon helps administrators to manage an Identity Federation. With Soffid you can manage the whole federation security configuration, increasing the security while reducing the federation management costs. Soffid can also act as a Service Provider, serving identities to any SAML capable application server.

The main supported standard is SAML. SAML allows to completely detach the identification process from web applications,  known as Service Providers. With SAML, identification is performed by specialized servers known as Identity Providers.  Additionaly, some other, less secure, but some times convenient protocols like OAuth (Open Authorization) and OpenID-Connect protocols are supported. Elder protocols like Openid (do not confuse with OpenID-Connect) are deprecated and no  longer supported.
