IAM Federation

Identity and Access Management (IAM) Federation is a mechanism that lets users from an external Identity Provider (IDP) access IONOS Cloud resources, such as the Data Center Designer, upon successful authentication and establishing the organization account link with the IDP. Federated IDPs such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 or OpenID Connect (OIDC) are supported to establish a trust authentication connection. With IAM Federation, users also get to Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple systems without logging in whenever accessing these resources.
