## Context and Problem Statement

|

oCIS needs to be integrated with various external Authentication and Identity Management Systems.
|

Usually oCIS will no have administrative access to such a system and we will not be allowed to
|

reconfigure it suite our needs (e.g. we will not be able to enhance the schema of an already existing
|
||||
LDAP Directory). In most case our access will be read-only.

Sidenote: There is a difference between users, identities and accounts: A user may have multiple

identities which he can authenticate with, e.g. his facebook, twitter, microsoft or google

identity. Multiple identities can be linked to an account in ocis, allowing to fall back to another

identity provider should one of them shut down. This also allows migrating from one identity

provider to another.
