WS-Federation federations

The Federation Module supports the WS-Federation protocol to accomplish federated single sign-on from identity providers to service providers. Users authenticate at the identity provider. Service providers use the identity information asserted by identity providers.

The WS-Federation protocol defines a standardized, multi-vendor web-based single sign-on solution based on a collection of integrated Web Services (WS*) standards such as WS-Security, WS-Trust, and WS-Federation.
