  1. Identity Management in Cloud  Computing  Identity management in cloud computing is the subsequent step of  identity and access management (IAM) solutions. It is, however, far more  than just a basic single sign-on (SSO) solution for web apps. This next  generation IAM approach is a holistic transition to the cloud by the  identity provider.  This unique service, known as Directory-as-a-Service (DaaS), is an  advanced variant of conventional and on-site solutions, including the  Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Microsoft Active  Directory Protocol (AD).  A Modern Cloud Identity Management Solution  Features  The following are a few advantages of identity management in cloud  computing: 

  2. ● Consistent access control interface:​ Applicable to all cloud  platform applications, a clean and single access control interface  is supported by Cloud IAM solutions.  ● Superior security levels:​ We can easily identify enhanced  protection levels for crucial applications if appropriate.  ● Businesses access resources at diverse levels:​ Businesses can  define roles and grant permissions to explicit users​ for accessing  resources at diverse granularity levels.  Need for Cloud IAM  Identity management in cloud computing covers all user-base  categories that can interact for particular devices and in different  scenarios.  A modern cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution helps to:  ● Connect professionals, employees, IT applications, and devices  securely either on-premise or the cloud and through involved  networks.  ● It makes it possible to share the capabilities of the network with  the entire grid of users specifically linked to it. 

  3. ● It offers zero management overhead, enhanced security levels,  and easy management of diverse users with directory service in a  SaaS solution.  ● Cloud-based services are well understood to be activated,  configured and hosted by external providers. For users or  consumers, this situation can also have the least hassle. As a  consequence, with cloud IAM, many organisations will increase  their efficiency.  ● SaaS protocol is created and used as a hub for connecting with all  virtual networks of distributors, suppliers, and partners.  ● Business users can deal with all services and programs in one  place with cloud services, and Identity management can be  enabled with a click on a single dashboard.  ● Easily connect your cloud servers, which are virtually hosted at  Google Cloud, AWS, or elsewhere right next to your current LDAP  or AD user store.  ● Widen and extend your present LDAP or AD directory right to the  cloud.  ● Deal with Linux, Windows, and Mac desktops, laptops, and servers  established at different locations.  ● Connect different users to diverse applications that use LDAP or  SAML-based authentication​.  ● Effortlessly handle user access controls to WiFi networks securely  by using a cloud RADIUS service. 

  4. ● Enable GPO-like functionalities across diverse Windows, Mac, and  Linux devices.  ● Facilitate both system-based as well as application-level  multi-factor authentications (2FA).  These abilities help build a platform that connects users to virtually all IT  resources through any provider, protocol, platform, or location.  IT administrators realize that (in most cases) legacy identity  management systems fail when they are matched to cloud services and  AWS like them.  So, with a commanding, easy-to-use SaaS-based solution, the newest  approach to identity management in cloud computing expands the  existing directory to the cloud.  You can read more in detail about ​identity management in cloud  computing​ here.
