Welcome to the Alfresco Identity Service
documentation.
The Alfresco Identity Service is responsible for centralizing identity-related capabilities for other Alfresco software.
The key capabilities of the Identity Service include the ability to:
- Configure user authentication between the Identity Service and a supported LDAP provider.
- Configure a supported SAML provider so that you can enjoy the benefits of Single Sign On (SSO) with an existing identity provider.
More information is available about the Identity Service on the following topics:
- An overview of the Identity Service architecture is within the Alfresco/alfresco-identity-service GitHub project documentation.
- How to deploy the Identity Service.
- Configuring an external user database or identity provider to work with the Identity Service.
Note: See the supported platforms page for compatibility between Alfresco Content Services or Alfresco Process Services and Identity Service.
