Authentication

Authentication is the act of determining that a person is who they claim to be.

When an end user logs in successfully (for example, using a username and password), the authentication system (the identity provider) will then certify to a consuming service (the service provider) that the end user is who they claim to be.

Not to be confused with authorization, authentication only determines the identity of an end user. Authentication makes no decisions whether an end user should have access to a resource. The identity provider may, however, provide the service provider with information which allows the service provider to make an authorization decision.

Enterprise Authentication

The IAM Team offers the Enterprise Authentication service for campus-wide, web-based single sign-on. Enterprise Authentication is powered by a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 Identity Provider (IdP).
