Abstract
Managed identity federation provides numerous options for authentication to access one or more services. A user authenticates with an identity verification provider and provides proof of authentication to a service of a service provider. The service of the service provider is configured to verify the user's identity using a centrally managed identity provider configuration. This configuration is distributed without intervention of the service's administrators. This centrally-managed configuration allows a variety of enterprise and third-party services to utilize the service provider's billing, security, and other administrative services.
