Federated Authentication
Updated Sep 27, 2023Federated authentication
Federated authentication allows you to use your preferred OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider (IdP), such as Okta or Azure, to authenticate with any Arctic Wolf® web portal. This provides a single sign-on (SSO) experience for your users with your existing IdP, eliminating the need for another set of login credentials for Arctic Wolf services.
Using your own IdP, you can:
- Manage passwords
- Manage multi-factor authentication
- Audit logins
Tip: For a list of certified OpenID Providers, see https://openid.net/certification.
