I was asked about the relationship between SSO and Identity Integration Server As a technology, SSO is more suitable to be compared with identity integration than MIIS Their functions are different but they're also under the same background:.. A variety of application systems exist In Today's Enterprises. A Simple Summary for this Talk:
In the enterprise, there are often multiple network resources. Each system often has its own authentication method, so that users need to remember multiple usernames and passwords, except for inconvenience, also increases the risk of security. And single sign-in (SSO) means that users only need to verify (ie, prove him or her identity) once, after which there is no need to verify the identity, you can access multiple authorized access resources. The network resources discussed here can include all resources from applications, files, and other data, which can spread on different types of servers that run different operating systems within the entire enterprise.
The implementation of SSO often requires support for both infrastructure and applications. For example, an application developer has developed a web application that supports Windows integration authentication, then users do not need to log in again when they log in to the Windows domain. In this case, you can see that the infrastructure and application support for SSO:
1. Windows domain user authentication system
2. IIS integration certification support
3. Web application determines user identity based on the Windows account of the login user
There are several applications in the enterprise, and another problem is also introduced: an identity lacks consistency in different systems. E.g
1. In financial, personnel applications and activity directories, the same customer's address is inconsistent
2. When a new employee is working, you need to create identity information in multiple systems.
3. After the employee leaves, you must disable relevant identity information in each system.
For large businesses, how to manage and maintain this information is a problem.
