Overview

Scenario

VPN supports federated authentication for logging in to identity provider (IdP) systems. In this authentication mode, client user information is centrally managed and authenticated by the IdP systems, simplifying information maintenance.

This authentication mode is ideal for enterprises with a mature IdP system.

Networking

Multiple clients can use federated authentication to connect to a VPN gateway for access to a VPC.

Solution Advantages

You can use client federated authentication to manage accounts in a unified manner, securing user data transmission.

Limitations and Constraints

When the client authentication mode is federated authentication, gateway resources in the sub-projects of regions cannot be used. For details about sub-projects, see Project Management.
