Identity Providers
You can integrate Identity Providers with Identity as a Service to allow authentication with either IDaaS or the Identity Provider (IDP). When integrated, IDaaS acts as an OIDC or SAML client to connect to the Identity Provider.
For example, you configure Application XYZ as the Identity Provider and integrate it with IDaaS. When you log in to IDaaS you have the option to log in using IDaaS authentication or log in to Application XYZ using your ApplicationA credentials. You can also integrate Identity Providers with Identity as a Service for the purpose of creating or verifying a user prior to the user using Identity as a Service applications.
The following diagram shows these authentication and verification paths:
This procedure describes how to integrate a generic Identity Provider. See Supported Identity Providers for ready-to-use integration templates.
