This document introduces the basic concepts of Identity Aware Platform (IAP).
Concept | Description |
Identity Recognition | IAP supports joint identity verification based on OIDC, to recognize whether the user identity verified by the Identity Provider (IdP) corresponds to a Tencent Cloud console user. |
Authentication | In Cloud Access Management (CAM), the root account can grant resource permissions to a corresponding sub-account through the policy syntax. Authentication indicates recognizing whether a sub-account has been granted with relevant permissions. |
Cloud Load Balancer | Tencent Cloud Load Balancer (CLB) distributes traffic to multiple real servers to enhance the service capabilities of applications. For details, see Cloud Load Balancer Overview. |
OIDC | OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an authentication protocol built on the basis of OAuth 2.0. OAuth is an authorization protocol, and OIDC adds an identity layer based on the OAuth protocol. Besides the authorization capabilities provided by OAuth, OIDC also allows clients to verify the identity of end users and obtain their basic information via the OIDC API (in the form of HTTP RESTful). |
