Internal User Management

Users are managed using the administration portal that can be used to invite additional users as well. If the self-registration feature of the developer portal is used all users that registered themselves are stored within the internal user system.

Connect to your organization’s LDAP

The API Control Plane can connect to any user directory that makes use of LDAP. Logins to the administration portal are then forwarded to the directory. Using this option, no passwords are stored within the API Control Planes databases. However, you should always keep at least one global administrator stored in the internal user database, in case the connection to your LDAP is not available or needs reconfiguration.

Connect to a SAML identity provider

Single Sign On (SSO) is really popular with a lot of companies. Using SAML you can connect the API Control Plane to a wide variety of Identity Providers like Okta, Ping or Azure AD.
