Integrate Onfido

Onfido is a technology company that helps businesses verify people's identities using a photo-based identity document, a selfie, and artificial intelligence algorithms (see https://onfido.com). You can protect access to Onfido by integrating Onfido with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Onfido account through Identity as a Service.

Note: This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.31 and Onfido July 2023 version. Other versions of Onfido may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure.
