What is an Authentication Source

BambooCloud IDaaS uses the concept of Authentication Sources to correspond to various enterprise sources or social authentication sources. Administrators only need to configure the relevant connection settings and mapping relationships for the authentication source to complete integration with various authentication sources. They can then use the original account passwords or scanning methods from these authentication sources to log into the platform.

In 2E scenarios, enterprises often use mobile office applications such as DingTalk, WeChat Work, Feishu, WeLink, and Cloud Hub. Some enterprises have previously established unified authentication systems through certain products, such as AD, LDAP, CAS, or even through IBM Tivoli, Oracle AM, Okta, PingIdentity, etc.

When enterprise systems wish to continue using the account passwords from these unified authentication systems to log into all application systems, including those they cannot integrate with, BambooCloud IDaaS can quickly meet these requirements through these pre-integrated authentication sources. For example, it can support logging into Tencent Mail using AD account passwords, logging into Salesforce via WeChat Work scan, or continuing to use the original unified authentication platform's login interface to access Jira, etc.

In 2C scenarios, there are also many requirements for social authentication, such as wanting to log into applications using scan or quick login methods from social authentication sources like WeChat, Alipay, Weibo, QQ, etc. BambooCloud IDaaS can also quickly meet these requirements through these pre-integrated authentication sources.
