The idFS Identity Provider serves as a facility for Web-based identity management. It enables users to register, authenticate and manage their own identity information via a self-service Web interface. The Identity Provider is part of the WS-Federation based idFS architecture. In combination with the idFS Resource Security Token Service (STS), it provides an authentication and authorization mechanism to regulate access on Web applications.
