Application security made easy with IBM Cloud App ID.
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud App ID
IBM Cloud App ID is used to implement SSO between web applications deployed and running in IBM Cloud and IBM Connections running on-premise. App ID addresses the following business problem: it enables a web application to be used only by users authorized by company's LDAP server. Only authorized users can access the web application running in IBM Cloud.
Pros
- Ease of use and configuration
- Free App ID instance available for evaluation
- Stability and availablility (no incidents so far)
Cons
- Documentation can be improved
- Overall impact was positive. A positive side effect of the project's effort was the implementation of SAML based SSO within the company.
- CloudFoundry, IBM Event Streams (formerly Message Hub), IBM API Connect, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, IBM Cloud Garage and IBM Cloud Functions
IBM Cloud App ID was selected because a free tier instance was available so we could experiment with it right away.
