Database SSO Integration: SAML, OIDC, SCIM and MFA

Large enterprises invest heavily in identity and access management infrastructure, integrating systems like Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Ping to manage access rules and security policies. Introducing a new vendor into this mix, which requires managing users in a separate portal with distinct policies, can lead to operational costs, compliance issues, and security risks due to identity silos. SingleStore Helios addresses these challenges by supporting comprehensive identity integration through federated Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) and automates user lifecycle management with SCIM 2.0. This integration ensures that authentication and group membership changes at the identity provider level are reflected in SingleStore in real-time, reducing the persistence of unnecessary access. Additionally, SingleStore Helios enhances security with options for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and eliminates static credentials in automation through cloud IAM integration, allowing services to authenticate without traditional passwords. The platform offers a maturity model for identity integration, guiding organizations through stages from basic MFA to full machine identity management, ultimately aiming for reliable and secure access control without static credentials.
