WS-Federation and WS-Trust are specification standards that are part of the web services (WS-*) specification family created to establish the basic web services framework. The purpose of the protocols is efficiency, enabling enterprise employees to use a single set of credentials across many applications, including RapidIdentity and Active Directory (AD).

“Support for WS-Federation and WS-Trust specifications allows Identity Automation to better meet our customer’s needs,” said Michael Webb, Chief Technology Officer of Identity Automation. “While Identity Automation and Microsoft customers have had the ability to use RapidIdentity to provision and authenticate users to on-premises implementations of AD, as more customers move to Microsoft Azure cloud, WS-Federation and WS-Trust integration will allow users to continue to authenticate using RapidIdentity.”
