Identity as a Service:Application onboarding guide

Last Updated:Mar 31, 2026

An application in IDaaS represents any business application, system, or service — from an HR platform your team logs into every morning to an internal developer portal. Once integrated, IDaaS enables single sign-on (SSO) and account synchronization for that application.

Application types

IDaaS supports four integration types, listed in recommended order. Start with the highest-priority option that fits your application.

PriorityIntegration typeWhen to use
1Application MarketplaceYour application is listed in the Application Marketplace. IDaaS provides pre-integrated templates — activate and configure in minutes. New templates are added continuously.
2Standard protocolsYour application is not in the Application Marketplace but supports standard protocols, such as SAML or OpenID Connect (OIDC). Standard configuration only — no custom development required.
3Custom applicationsYour application supports neither the Application Marketplace nor standard protocols. Develop the integration against IDaaS standards.
4Legacy compatibility Future versionYour application cannot be integrated using any of the methods above. IDaaS provides a password autofill feature that securely stores passwords to enable SSO.

What's next

Choose the integration type that matches your application, then follow the corresponding guide linked in the table above.
