Features and Benefits

Features

• Single Sign-On (SSO): Users can access IONOS services with their Identity Provider credentials, removing the need for multiple logins. After signing in to an IONOS Cloud account, they can seamlessly use SSO to access other IONOS Cloud services like the Reseller Portal, Control Panel, and so on.

• Cross-Domain Collaboration: IAM Federation, along with SSO, adds cross-domain authentication, allowing users across organizations to authenticate using IDP and access various applications across other organizations without creating new credentials.

• Standardized Protocols: IAM Federation supports industry-standard authentication and authorization protocols, such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and OpenID Connect, ensuring interoperability between different systems and organizations.

• Cross Domain Collaboration: IAM Federation, along with SSO, adds cross-domain authentication, allowing users across organizations to authenticate using IDP and access various applications across other organizations without creating new credentials.

• Security: IAM Federation provides a secure way to share identities with domain ownership and authenticate users with IDP, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to resources and services.

Benefits

• Improved Security: Identity Provider authentication provides stronger authentication and authorization mechanisms. It also reduces the risk of phishing and password-related attacks.

• Simplified User Management: The IONOS IAM Federation system streamlines user management, allowing contract owners to manage user access to IONOS services using their existing IDP infrastructure.

• Enhanced User Experience: Users can seamlessly access resources without multiple logins.

• Reduced Administration: Organizations can reduce the administrative management associated with managing multiple identities and access credentials of users.
