Explanation
Identity as a service (IDaaS) is a cloud-based solution that provides identity and access management (IAM) services to customers, either on-premise or in the cloud. IDaaS offers an easy mechanism for integrating identity service into individual applications with minimal development effort by allowing the identification logic and storage of an identity's attributes to be maintained externally by the IDaaS provider. This way, the applications can leverage the IDaaS provider's APIs and protocols to authenticate and authorize users, without having to implement their own identity infrastructure or store user credentials locally. IDaaS can also provide other benefits, such as scalability, availability, cost-effectiveness, compliance, and security.
