- catmanjan 6y agoProbably a dumb question, everything in my sphere is active directory - why would you have more than one identity provider?
- grinich 6y agoIf you’re a developer building an app, your customers use a variety of different systems. These are fragmented and you need to support all of them, not just Active Directory.
- catmanjan 6y agoThe previous post said "the enterprise" which makes me think of a singular organisation using all of them - maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why would a single org use more than one?
- grinich 6y ago"The enterprise" is jargon for "the enterprise market." It's rare that a company will use multiple identity systems, but there exists lots of fragmentation across the large companies, which makes building a universal solution into your app very time consuming.

- catmanjan 6y agoAh thanks, I thought he meant they were all being used as identity providers - this makes more sense
