Security
Controls which users can securely access which modules and services using authentication and authorization mechanisms. Ignite also makes standards-based systems such as OPENID, oAuth or Federation (SAML 2.0) available to integrators for use in their own solutions.
Ignite uses Microsoft Azure API Manager as a gateway that allows to easily design how the APIs are accessible, how they relate to each other to form the operation flows and which ones are exposed.
oAuth
Ignite offers the possibility of access using the oAuth standard which is based on the validation of a security TOKEN generated by some standard TOKENIZATION tool.
OpenID & HSM
The OpenID standard offers the possibility of generating, refreshing and validating security TOKENs to be able to propose accesses through oAuth integrated with other systems or for the securing of APIs. For the token generation Ignite also provides its own HSM device.
SSO
The platform has its own authentication system so that clients can access their private area. Another integrated access mode offered by the platform is the basic SSO mechanism which avoids a double login by the end user when accessing another system (i.e. ISV’s) from the platform.
Federated Services
Identity federation is a standard mechanism for integrating an LDAP or Active Directory from an external provider with the platform in such a way that avoids a double login of the end user.
