Application Request Access

Your organisation has a dynamic workforce, and a dynamic list of applications that they use to be efficient. A self-discovery, self-request workflow is more efficient than a command-and-control model.
Applications

An application manages web-based applications, API’s, anything which uses HTTP as a transport.
It encompasses a Web Application Firewall, an Identity Proxy, and fine-grained Authorisation and Audit.
Audit Destinations

Audit records are written for events ranging from authentication, authorisation, and API access. Configure how to receive these.
Authentication Audit
Authentication audit shows events related to user identity, each step, multi-factor, policies, locations, etc. E.g. ‘sign-in’ obtain id token.
Authentication Issuer – Custom Identity

An Authentication Issuer holds and confirms Identity. Configure your own custom ones here.
Authentication Rules
Authentication rules allow providing conditional-access rulesets during the authentication process. IP range, device, multi-factor, etc.
