Overview Efficiently coordinating and integrating business processes with trading partners in an increasingly dynamic business environment is a complex dilemma faced by most large enterprises. Identity federation and the industry standards that comprise it were invented to address this cross domain, application interoperability challenge. This paper introduces and defines identity federation; the benefits that companies can reap by leveraging it, some use cases that can enabled by it, the most relevant industry standards and specifications that underlie it and the business issues that must be addressed for identity federation to be successfully delivered at scale.
