Core capabilities
IDaaS provides an all-in-one platform for administrators to manage organizational structures and the lifecycle and permissions of accounts in a centralized manner, and configure functionalities for applications such as single sign-on (SSO). IDaaS allows users to access application portals, use independent logon systems, and manage accounts.
You can experience the core capabilities of IDaaS in just 10 minutes. For more information, see Create an instance for free.
You can integrate the existing accounts of applications and enterprises with the IDaaS account system. You can also use IDaaS as an enterprise account management system or as a centralized system that connects different account systems.
CIAM and security authentication
In addition to the preceding enterprise management scenarios, IDaaS supports Alibaba Cloud Customer Identity Access Management (CIAM) and security authentication.
CIAM is an IDaaS service that facilitates the management of user identities and permissions by the public service sector, enterprises, and institutions. CIAM helps break down silos of citizen and member identities in information systems and provides a centralized identity system that meets business requirements. You can use CIAM in the cloud or deploy an on-premises version of CIAM.
Security authentication is an independent IDaaS service that provides an all-in-one tool and a set of SDKs to handle security risks and break down silos in authentication systems. Developers can implement password-free authentication methods such as phone number verification, WebAuthn biometric authentication, logon by using text message verification code, one-time password (OTP) authentication, and the authentication specifications of the Internet Finance Authentication Alliance (IFAA).
