Federation overview

ISAM provides a Federation Module to allow collaborating organizations to secure access to each other's applications with seamless sign-on experience. A federation is a relationship in which the participating entities agree to use the same technical standard, enabling access to each other's data and resources. Federation consists of service providers (SP) and an identity provider (IdP).

• The IdP partner authenticates the identity of a user
• Service providers provide a business function as a service

The Federation Module provides support for SAML 2.0, WS-Federation, and OpenID Connect protocols for federated access, as well as pre-integrated federation connectors to popular cloud applications.

Activate the ISAM Platform and Federation Module to set up federations.

In earlier versions of the product the feature was enabled using the TFIM application.
