Alias service

To manage the aliases, the Federation module uses an alias service. The alias service stores and retrieves aliases that are related to a federated identity.

Persistent name identifier format allows you to link a user at the identity provider with a user at the service provider. Verify Identity Access stores these account linkages in a high-volume database or an LDAP database. You can manage these account linkages using the alias service REST API. See to the REST API documentation for more information.
