Abstract
An identity provider (IdP) defines an interface for obtaining device posture signals in a flexible manner. Third-party signal providers author plugins that conform to the defined interface and make the plugins available to the organizations that use their services. The plugins incorporate the third-party signals into the authentication logic of the IdP, allowing the authentication logic to obtain organization-defined information about client device posture of the client devices on which user authentication is taking place. This permits different organizations that use the IdP to tailor their authentication processes to the particular types of signals available to them, and to their own particular organization policies. This allows, for example, conformity to organization policies such as user data use policies.
