Overview
Need to connect an application to the FSU network? Authentication and identity management controls access between FSU servers and databases and third-party applications. Access can be set up for external applications or for internal applications that need to communicate with each other. ITS opens traffic on a specific range of ports and limits the IP addresses that can access specific FSU resources. This allows data to pass back and forth between FSU servers and third-party apps, but ensures only the users and applications that need to access FSU systems can get through. Identity management is a secure way for applications to communicate with the FSU network.
