Federation

Identity Federation

Definition

Identity federation allows users to authenticate with one organization's IdP and access resources in another organization's domain without creating separate credentials. Cross-domain federation uses protocols like SAML and OIDC to establish trust between identity systems.

It enables use cases like partner B2B access, multi-entity SSO, and academic identity networks (eduGAIN).
