What is WS-Fed?

WS-Federation (Web Services Federation) is a specification that provides a framework for federated identity management. It enables users to access web applications and services across different security domains using a single identity. WS-Federation defines how security tokens are exchanged between identity providers and relying parties to establish trust and authenticate users. It is commonly used to implement Single Sign-On (SSO) across organizations and cloud services, allowing users to access resources without needing to re-enter credentials for each application.
