With the pandemic of COVID-19, people around the world
increasingly work from home. Each natural person typically has several
digital identities with different associated information. During the last
years, various identity and access management approaches have gained
attraction, helping for example to access other organizations' services
within trust boundaries. The resulting heterogeneity creates a high complexity to differentiate between these approaches and scenarios as participating entity; combining them is even harder. Last but not least, various actors have a different understanding or perspective of the terms,
like service, in this context. Our paper describes a reference service
with standard components in generic federated identity management.
This is utilized with modern Enterprise Architecture using the framework
ArchiMate. The proposed universal federated identity management
service model (FIMSM) is applied to describe various federated identity
management scenarios in a generic service-oriented way. The presented
reference design is approved in multiple aspects and is easily applicable
in numerous scenarios.
