The Fedlet does not require additional hardware, thus reducing the cost to the Service Provider and increasing the return on investment on existing hardware.
The Fedlet is easy to deploy and to embed into the Service Provider application. Configuration on the Fedlet, if needed at all, requires modifying only three to four parameters. This enables you to go live with the application much more quickly than deploying a full-featured federation solution.
The Fedlet enables the Service Provider to quickly enable federation into their applications, resulting in shorter time-to-market for their applications with the Identity Provider.
The Fedlet does not require the Service Provider to install any full-featured federation software. This reduces the amount of training required, thus reducing training costs for the Service Provider.
The Fedlet is ideal for a Service Provider that wants only to achieve single sign-on with an Identity Provider, and to be able to retrieve user attributes from the Identity Provider.
The Fedlet is compliant with SAMLv2 standards.
A single instance of the Fedlet can be set up to work with more than one Identity Provider.
The Fedlet can be configured to use an Identity Provider Discovery Service to set and find the user's preferred Identity Provider.
