SSO APIs for Federated Identity

Federated identity enables users of one domain to securely access data or systems of another domain seamlessly, and without the need for completely redundant user administration. Using the Federated Identity SSO APIs, software companies and service providers use managed Federated Identity services in the cloud to partner and provide integrated solutions that customers value.

These APIs provide Single Sign-On for applications and services across multiple parties and leverage the governance power of Commerce Business Rules through claims management, thereby delivering comprehensive federation capabilities through a single, low-cost integration.
