Federation
Web SSO
Web SSO is a web-based SSO model where a central intermediary authenticates the user and propagates session trust to connected applications.
Definition
Web SSO is a pattern in which web applications rely on a shared authentication intermediary, often proxy-like, to establish trust for the user session across several services. It was historically used to unify access to multiple web applications without redesigning each one's authentication model.
The Ariovis perspective
Federation is an architecture choice, not a product checkbox. Ariovis assesses protocols, trust relationships, application constraints and migration paths before defining the target.
