Identity Provider (IdP) :: Federated Identity Suite
| A Central Element For Federated Identity Solutions
Symlabs Identity Provider (IdP) is the component of Symlabs Federated Identity Suite that delivers a full-featured, ready-to-deploy, multi-protocol, standards-based Identity Provider. It offers essential capabilities for Service Providers (SPs) such as user authentication information for Single Sign-On (SSO), or the federation and session information and management that provides defederation and Single Log-Off (SLO) capabilities. It can also be used as a portal, allowing users to log on to any service.
Symlabs Identity Provider (IdP) supports all aspects of the federation framework. It can act as an attribute authority to send attribute-based identity information or as an authentication authority offering a query interface for issued statements, and it can also be configured to relay its authentications in IdP Proxy mode.
Symlabs Identity Provider (IdP) is a fully functional Web Services Framework Authentication Service supporting various methods for Liberty User Agents and Device (LUAD) authentication, and includes the Symlabs Discovery Service (DS) that can be deployed standalone or integrated with the IdP. Support For A Wide Range Of Industry StandardsThe specifications supported for Single Sign-On plus Session and Federation Management include Liberty ID-FF 1.2, OASIS SAML 2.0 full extended profile, and WS-Federation 1.0 (SSO, SLO).
Symlabs Identity Provider (IdP) also supports Liberty ID-WSF 1.1 and Liberty ID-WSF 2.0 specifications for the secure exchange of identity information, including Discovery Service, Discovery Bootstrap, Authentication Service, and Identity Mapping Service. |

TOPHow is the Symlabs Federated Identity Suite implemented?
SFIS is implemented in our own scripting language, called Directory Script. The flexible scripting approach allows our products to be easily modified to meet the complex needs of our client's requirements. The scripts run on top of a high-performance engine also built by Symlabs, named dsproxy. This engine was developed in C, with performance and stability as the primary goals. TOPHow is the Symlabs Federated Identity Suite administered?
Our products can be operated from comand-line, with the start scripts we provide. The configuration is stored in plain text files and can be edited directly. In addition, we also supply a web-based administration console. TOPHow is audit handled in the Symlabs Identity Provider (IdP)?
The logging output of the Identity Provider has different levels of audit which are configurable by the administrator. The logs are text files that can be parsed to allow any kind of audit processing, as well as alarm generation. TOPDoes the Symlabs Identity Provider (IdP) generate unique identifiers for the users?
Our Identity Provider supports many different name identifier formats, including SAML2's persistent and transient. It is also able to generate new identifiers based on the parameters of the Authentication Request sent by the Service Providers.

How is user session handled in Symlabs Identity Provider (IdP)?*
Our Identity Provider has two configurable timeouts: A soft one that when expired will request users to reauthenticate during SSO, and a hard one that allows the Identity Provider to process Single Logouts until expired. Any of these two can be turned off by configuration.
