Many aspects of enterprise identity are covered by specifications both within and outside the OpenID Foundation, such as OpenID Connect, Shared Signals Framework, OAuth, and SCIM. These specifications often enable a wide range of capabilities, in many cases capabilities that go beyond the minimum requirements for enterprise identity management, and sometimes also include features that are not relevant in an enterprise context. Additionally, many of these specifications are frameworks and contain optionality to the point of two independent implementations not being guaranteed to be interoperable without further coordination.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This working group will develop profiles of existing specifications with the primary goal of achieving independent implementations being interoperable, while also prioritizing secure defaults within the specifications.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The initial problem space of the working group is focused around:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">* Single Sign-On</div><div dir="auto">* User Lifecycle Management</div><div dir="auto">* Entitlements</div><div dir="auto">* Risk Signal Sharing</div><div dir="auto">* Logout</div><div dir="auto">* Token Revocation</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The working group may also address problems such as:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">* Discoverability of specific features within the above-mentioned capabilities</div><div dir="auto">* New user onboarding and account recovery</div><div dir="auto">* Discovering the applications used within an enterprise</div><div dir="auto">* Monitoring and provisioning application usage</div><div dir="auto">* Managing restrictions on application usage</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">3) Scope</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The scope of the working group includes:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">* Develop profiles of existing specifications with the goal of interoperability within the enterprise ecosystem.</div><div dir="auto">* Define an interoperability profile of OpenID Connect that meets the needs and security requirements of the enterprise.</div><div dir="auto">* Define an interoperability profile of Shared Signals Framework that enables sharing signals about threat detection and device posture.</div><div dir="auto">* Define an interoperability profile of SCIM that enables user account lifecycle and entitlements management.</div><div dir="auto">* Define an interoperability profile of logout specifications to enable an identity provider to revoke sessions and tokens of downstream applications.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Out of scope:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Developing new general-purpose specifications, technologies, or features is out of scope of this working group.
