with WSO2 Identity Server
Identity federation allows you to use your unique identity between heterogeneous systems. For instance, logging in through a social login such as Facebook or Twitter is a form of Identity Federation known as Bring Your Own Identity (BYOID). This is a key requirement for most enterprises to offer a good user experience, and it can be swiftly implemented with WSO2 Identity Server.

What is Identity Federation?
Identity federation enables authentication across different enterprises in different trust domains based on the trust factor. This makes access simple, so users don’t have to remember a different set of credentials every time they need to log in to multiple applications.
Why is Identity Federation important?
Identity federation is required by enterprises to provide access to:
- Users from supplier and partner networks
- New users outside the traditional organizations, e.g., after mergers and acquisitions
- Users who own a public organization ID (such as ORCID ID)
- Social logins such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, or Apple
How it works
WSO2 Identity Server can act as a hub that connects multiple identity providers to authenticate users to a particular service provider.
