ADFS integration
What is AD FS (Active Directory Federation Services):
Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution developed by Microsoft that allows organizations to authenticate users across different applications and systems, both on-premises and in the cloud.
Configure login to Exchange OWA using AD FS with Hideez Identity Cloud as the Identity Provider, utilizing the WS-Federation protocol (3-tier architecture: Exchange OWA → WS-Federation → AD FS → SAML 2.0 →Hideez Identity Cloud).
Advantages:
Leverages existing AD FS infrastructure: If AD FS is already installed and configured, this option allows you to use the existing infrastructure without additional setup or changes.
Integration with other Microsoft applications: If the organization already integrates other Microsoft products via AD FS, this option allows centralized authentication management for all applications, including Exchange OWA and others.
Centralized access policy management: With AD FS in place, you can manage access policies and security measures centrally, ensuring consistent enforcement across all integrated services, including Hideez Identity Cloud.
Enhanced security: AD FS can be configured with additional security features like MFA, enhancing access protection for all connected resources.
Convenient for organizations already using AD FS: This option is ideal for organizations with established AD FS configurations, allowing easy integration of Hideez Identity Cloud as an external identity provider without major infrastructure changes.
