Abstract
A computer readable medium, apparatus, system, and method for performing identification (ID) operations using a processor or programmable circuitry are provided. The processor configures ID federations between a federation server and applications. The processor is further configured to receive a first authentication request for authenticating a first user who has been authenticated on a first application among the applications with a first user ID using an ID federation. The processor is also configured to check the first user ID to determine whether the first user is authorized to access information of a second user on a second application and send a second authentication request to a second application, the second authentication request for authenticating the first user with a second user ID, which is associated with the second user, using an ID federation between the federation server and the second application.
