Functionality

PhenixID server ships with lots of functionality. Many functions are exposed through the web based config UI but just as much are not. In this article you will get a brief run through on the built in functions. If any of the functions mentioned seems particularly interesting and you would like to receive more information, contact PhenixID support.

A full set of use cases can be found on the PhenixID Products pages, http://www.phenixid.net/products/.

Multi-factor authentication

It is common knowledge that passwords are not strong enough to protect company data. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides the strength of security needed to protect your environment. By leveraging something the user already has, PhenixID MFA enables a seamless and cost effective solution.

Federation

PhenixID Federation Service provides a solution to use a single point of authentication. End users will need to login only once (SSO, Single-Sign-On) using a strong authentication method and get access to all their applications.

PhenixID server ships with advanced SAML2 capabilities. Identity Provider, Service Provider and SAML brokering scenarios are all common use cases.
