Authorization Integrations
Authorization integrations connect ThunderID authorization flows to services that participate in authorization decisions. They provide the protocol-specific configuration that ThunderID needs to communicate with each service.
Authorization integrations can cover different roles in the authorization lifecycle. ThunderID currently provides an integration for policy decision points.
The available integration types and their configuration guides are listed below.
Available Authorization Integrations
| Integration type | Protocol | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Policy decision point | AuthZEN | Delegate policy evaluation to an AuthZEN-compatible PDP. The guide uses Cerbos as the example PDP. |
