Identity provider flexibility capability
Every organization has different identity needs. You may standardize on one IdP, work with several, or bridge across providers.
Why this matters: Flexibility avoids lock‑in, supports mergers and partner access, and lets teams move at their own pace.
The challenge: Multiple directories and providers make consistent access and governance difficult.
Our solution
Use SecureAuth as the primary IdP or as a broker across providers like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and ADFS. Normalize attributes, translate tokens between SAML and OIDC, and enforce consistent policies.
Key benefits
✔ Choice without compromise across business units
✔ Centralized policy and logging for governance
✔ Smoother M&A by bridging identity systems
✔ Consistent user experience across providers
Investment considerations
- Implementation approach: Establish trust by exchanging metadata and validating certificates, configure routing rules, normalize attributes, choose and document JIT or SCIM provisioning, test SAML↔OIDC token translation, and define fallback providers.
- Expected benefits: Unified access across providers, reduced vendor lock in, smoother M&A and partner onboarding, centralized policy and audit, and a consistent user experience.
- Scalability: Design failover across providers and regions, support high volume multi-IdP routing, cache metadata and keys, and monitor token translation and SCIM performance.
