KloudIdentity makes app onboarding to Entra IGA faster!

Microsoft Entra ID Governance is an identity governance solution that enables organizations to improve productivity, strengthen security, and more easily meet compliance and regulatory requirements. You can use Microsoft Entra ID Governance to automatically ensure that the right people have the right access to the right resources, with identity and access process automation, delegation to business groups, and increased visibility. With the features included in Microsoft Entra ID Governance, along with those in related Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Security and Microsoft Azure products, you can mitigate identity and access risks by protecting, monitoring, and auditing access to critical assets.

Specifically, Microsoft Entra ID Governance helps organizations address these four key questions, for access across services and applications both on-premises and in clouds:

• Which users should have access to which resources?
• What are those users doing with that access?
• Are there organizational controls in place for managing access?
• Can auditors verify that the controls are working effectively?

With Microsoft Entra ID Governance you can implement the following scenarios for employees, business partners, and vendors:

• Govern the identity lifecycle
• Govern the access lifecycle
• Secure privileged access for administration

Entra ID Governance also provides an end-to-end advanced lifecycle workflow to automate join/move/leave employee lifecycle events.

Challenge:

Integrating HR Solutions and custom applications with Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) can be complex, especially when native integrations are lacking. Handling diverse data sources like Flat files, CSV files, and SQL staging tables requires a flexible approach. Additionally, customers will need to possess significant integration and SCIM knowledge to use ECMA connectors or other available methods. Also, this creates separate connectors for each of the applications which becomes highly complex to manage.

KloudIdentity is the solution!

KloudIdentity streamlines enterprise operations by simplifying the onboarding process of on-premises Line of Business (LOB) applications and facilitating outbound provisioning of users and groups through Microsoft Entra ID. It serves as a SCIM gateway, enabling non-SCIM-compliant LOB applications to seamlessly integrate with Microsoft Entra ID. This application is founded upon a unique design paradigm known as the universal connector space, which offers a standardized platform for creating connectors for various LOB applications through a template-driven approach. This methodology significantly reduces lead time and costs associated with onboarding non-SCIM-compliant LOB applications to Microsoft Entra ID for outbound provisioning.

Integration with LOB applications is primarily achieved through REST APIs, with support also extended to SOAP APIs and PowerShell scripts. Administrators can easily configure attribute mapping templates using a user-friendly web portal. Beyond graphical UI-driven attribute mapping, KloudIdentity offers a customizable policies-based approach, allowing for the configuration of highly tailored sequences of attribute mapping and payload generation.

Furthermore, KloudIdentity provides a Software Development Kit (SDK) to customize the standard connector platform, addressing complex and advanced integration scenarios. This empowers users to make code modifications within the KloudIdentity framework safely and efficiently, enabling seamless integration of LOB applications for users and group provisioning. The SCIM gateway can be deployed either as a cloud-based solution or within on-premises data centers, supporting a range of deployment options from conventional IIS setups to Kubernetes-orchestrated environments.

KloudIdentity SCIM Gateway can be deployed in your on-premises data center or your cloud environment. We understand your security and hence provide flexible deployment methods based on your security requirements
