What is Federation Services?

Federation Services enable users to access multiple applications or services with a single set of credentials. This is achieved by establishing trust relationships between identity providers (IdPs) and service providers (SPs). When a user attempts to access a service, they are authenticated by the IdP, and the SP trusts the IdP's assertion, granting access without requiring the user to authenticate again. Common use cases include single sign-on (SSO) across web applications, cloud services, and internal systems, improving user experience and simplifying identity management.
