Managing identities across multiple applications has become increasingly complex for businesses of all sizes. This complexity intensifies as organizations expand, underscoring the critical need for efficient identity management solutions. Ory's Identity Federation Proxy rises to this challenge by offering a robust solution that streamlines user identity management across all customer-facing applications, irrespective of their diverse configurations or Identity Provider (IdP) protocols.

Streamlining Identity Management

Ory's Identity Federation capabilities provide a simple yet powerful solution. Serving as both a virtual Identity Provider (IdP) and a Service Provider simultaneously, it simplifies user identity management across various applications. This streamlined approach ensures seamless integration with applications, enhancing operational efficiency and alleviating the administrative burden.

Key Benefits of Identity Federation

  • Enhanced Security: By enabling federated authentication and single sign-on (SSO), Ory strengthens security measures across applications. Organizations can securely access multiple platforms without the need for repeated authentication, thereby bolstering the overall security posture.
  • Improved User Experience: Ory's Identity Federation ensures seamless authentication. By unifying protocols like SAML, and OIDC, and integrating with identity providers like Microsoft and Okta, Ory simplifies user journeys. Engineering teams benefit as new software products or applications no longer need their authentication systems. This streamlines development, ensuring positive experiences for all stakeholders.

Ory's Role in Identity Federation

As a trusted leader in security, privacy, and enterprise compliance solutions, Ory empowers organizations with a suite of APIs designed to facilitate identity management endeavors. Ory's Identity Federation solution acts as a catalyst for organizational growth, facilitating the swift deployment of new software products with confidence and efficiency.
