Safewhere is a Danish software provider specialising in Identity and Access Management (IAM) or Single Sign-on (SSO) as it is sometimes known as. The Safewhere Identify platform is one of the most comprehensive and flexible identity management solutions in the market, and is built for handling even the most complex IAM-challenges, enabling organisations to effectively manage the complete identity lifecycle of all their identities (users) across all your applications and devices. In essence, the Identify Platform can provide any user smart and secure single sign-on access to any business application with any type of authentication.
Identify acts as a central “Federated Identity Broker” between applications and users, to ensure that all users have the correct access rights to the relevant applications. In addition to this, Identify can provision applications with the correct identity information for new users, users who change their role and users who leave the organisation.
Identify uses identity federation and identity provisioning to centralise and simplify IAM and authentication of all desktop applications, web applications and web services, regardless of where they are located. Identify supports any identity, any authentication method, any application and any identity store or directory. This includes support for the open standards SAML 1.1, SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, WS-Federation and WS-Trust, making it possible to use social logins like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. With its own flexible identity store, Identify can easily be integrated with other identity stores, such as Active Directory, payroll systems, HR Systems etc. As more applications are connected to Safewhere Identify, users will experience Single Sign-On when moving between them.
