Incorporating Federation into your print infrastructure establishes a trust relationship between your organisation’s identity provider (IDP) and external services like Lexmark Cloud Services. Whether your IDP is Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Google Identity, or another Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0-compliant system, Federation streamlines access and enhances security.
Once this trust relationship is established, users gain access to Lexmark Cloud Services using their existing credentials, as managed by the customer’s identity provider. This includes password validation, complexity requirements, expiration, and potential multifactor authentication. Moreover, Federation supports Single Sign-On (SSO), reducing the need for repeated authentication as users navigate between various services.
