How to simplify app access when you’re dealing with multiple IDPs

Let any user log into a shared app with their group IDP — without disrupting the login experience or losing control over who sees what.

  • Give any type of user immediate access to the shared resources they need without creating new user accounts
  • Support multiple identity providers (cloud-based or legacy!) for any app
  • Set IDP and resource-level custom access policies in seconds so everyone sees exactly what they’re supposed to

Identity Continuity Modern Authentication Multiple IDPs

Stop forcing different user types into a single IDP

What the user sees

App users don’t care what identity provider you use to authenticate them — they just want to keep using their current login details. Use Identity Orchestration to keep log-in simple and secure, and make sure users see exactly what they’re supposed to.

  • Familiar login. Users head to the same screen and start the app authentication flow.
  • Invisible redirection. Behind the scenes, Maverics evaluates the username context in config and directs the user to the correct IDP.
  • Quick authentication. The user follows their usual IDP workflow, gets authenticated and logs in. Everything in the app looks the same as before.

What the admin does

Using different IDPs to authenticate users can make perfect sense— as long as you have control over access policies. Identity Orchestration gives you that.

  • Prepare your work surface. Define the upstream application and the port Maverics will use to communicate with the app.
  • Set the rules. Define the basic policy that enforces authentication to each IDP and define how Maverics will provide context to the upstream application.
  • Configure. Set Maverics up as an authentication gateway and give it the right permissions to direct users correctly.
