Integrate Fastly

Fastly is a cloud computer services provider that helps developers run, secure, and deliver websites and applications by generating an admin panel on top of their data. See https://www.fastly.com. You can protect access to Fastly by integrating Fastly with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Fastly account through Identity as a Service.

Note: This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.33 and Fastly Trial version December 2023. Other versions of Fastly may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Fastly, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating Fastly. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.
