+and Federation protocols like SAML, and integrates with Enterprise
Authentication systems to provide easy to use Single Sign On capabilities to
Web Applications and Services.
+
+An IdP server allows users to authenticate against any identity backend, whether that is a corporate LDAP server or even just local files, and allows applications to authenticate users without having to worry about the sort of authentication infrastructure is being used.
+
+Ipsilon supports applications to authenticate users via either the SAML2, OpenID or Persona protocols, and more protocols can be added with plugins.
