Symlabs Federated Identity Suite

Versatile, High Performance, Standards-Based

Symlabs Federated Identity Suite is a complete set of components that offer flexibility to create the exact identity management solutions you need in nearly any environment. It gives you a federation server with any combination of identity provider, service provider, or identity web services capabilities needed to supplement existing applications and with the ability to operate in a circle of trust. Also included within Symlabs Federated Identity Suite are client connectors, templates, and sample implementations, plus a powerful built-in scripting language to help build, integrate and customize your identity management solutions in record time.

A federated identity solution creates a secure, trusted environment out of multiple systems in a single enterprise, or from systems across multiple enterprises, giving users Single Sign On and Single Log Off within this circle of trust. It also supports new identity-based services such as People Service that make it easier and safer for users to network personal information or for workers to use functional business authorities.

Modular Approach, Triple Standard Operation

Symlabs Federated Identity Platform is fully compliant with open Liberty Alliance standards, but also supports SAML and WS-Federation at the same time, which translates to cost and efficiency improvements for a single enterprise architecture or a multi-platform service environment that crosses company boundaries. Tailor Symlabs Federated Identity Suite using the just components you need. The full- featured Identity Provider is ready-to-deploy for authentication to Service Providers, as portal for users, or a proxy. Create any desired Liberty web service with the complete, stand-alone Service Provider and its wide variety of client interfaces to services. Fully functional service modules plus a variety of unique connectors are provided to make integration easy and to "identity-enable" your existing applications with Single Sign On, Single Log Off, or identity web services functionality.
