Authentication

19

Authentication: Who are you?

20

Authentication Flow

21

■ Common use case: User requests access to a web page

■ Other Use Cases: Applications can request authentication programatically through REST or SOAP web services and OpenAM SDK

Authentication: Where does the request come from?

22

■ OpenAM works with most authentication methods without customization

■ 21 out of the box Authentication modules

■ Custom modules can be created easily

Authentication: Which Credentials?

23

Authentication: ID Token

24

Authorization

25

Authorization

■ Authentication is not enough

■ Authorization determines:

– WHO can do

– what ACTIONS

– with what RESOURCES

– under which CONDITIONS?

■ Uses Policies to define those rights

26

Authorization Flow

27

Federation

28

Federation

■ Federation is the process of linking identities across heterogeneous Access Management products

■ It is a trust relationship whereby a Service Provider (SP) trusts that an Identity Provider (IDP) has successfully authenticated a user

■ It is Standard Based

29

The Goals of Federation

■ Federation enables Single Sign On and Single Logout between partners

■ Federation allows rapid integration

– during company acquisitions

– between heterogeneous systems

■ Federation allows basic Identity Data Sharing

■ Helps to keep multiple internet accounts under control

Federation Terminology

32

OpenAM Federation

■ OpenAM provides first class federation support

■ Federation Protocol support– SAML2, WS-Federation, ID-FF, OAuth2

■ Federated Web Services

■ Multi-Protocol Hub– Allows OpenAM to act as a broker between different federation protocols

■ Plug-in points allow for easy customization

■ Fedlet for applications that do not support standard protocols
