  • Quickly move an application from a legacy IdP to a modern cloud one without the need to refactor the app
  • Future-proof applications via identity abstraction to quickly add new post-modernization identity services such as MFA, Passwordless, or Identity Verification
  • Leverage automation to replicate the process at scale for all your applications and retire your EOL legacy vendor contracts

Leave a real legacy by modernizing authentication architecture before the clock runs out

A simple user journey that simply works.

The sequence diagram

How everything comes together to authenticate.

What the user sees

App users don’t care what IDP you authenticate with — they care that it works. Use Identity Orchestration to deliver smooth consistency.

  • Familiar login. Users head to the same screen and start the app authentication flow.
  • Invisible redirection. Behind the scenes, Maverics evaluates the app policy in config and directs the user to Azure AD.
  • Quick authentication. The user enters their Azure AD details, gets authenticated and logs in. Everything in the app looks the same as before.

What the admin does

Switching to a modern IDP stopped being optional when support started crumbling. Use Identity Orchestration to modernize for good.

  • 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 AzureAD and define how Maverics will provide context to the upstream application.
  • Configure. Using the declarative YAML-based config file, set Maverics up as an authentication gateway and give it the right permissions to direct users correctly.

Most users will never know you changed anything
