Use Case 11: Enterprise to Cloud SSO

Short description:
A user is able to access resource within their enterprise environment or
within a cloud deployment using a single identity.
With enterprises expanding their application deployments using private and
public clouds, the identity management and authentication of users to the
services need to be decoupled from the cloud service in a similar fashion to
the decoupling of identity from application in the enterprise. Users expect
and need to have their enterprise identity extend to the cloud and used to
obtain different services from different providers rather than multitude of
userid and passwords.
By accessing services via a federated enterprise identity, not only the user
experience of SSO is to gain, but also Enterprise compliance and for control
of user access, ensuring only valid identities may access cloud services.

Relevant applicable standards:
- SAML
