As depicted in the above figure, the applications on the far left corner are configured to identify WSO2 Identity Server as the Identity Provider (IdP). Then WSO2 IS is configured to consider these applications as service providers so that when a user tries to access any of these applications, user will be redirected towards WSO2 IS for authentication purpose. At the WSO2 IS side, 3rd party IdPs are configured as Federated Identity Providers (IdP). If this 3rd party system is a legacy application or an application which is not supported OOTB or through the connector store, users can write a custom outbound authenticator.
