AAAaaS

AAAaaS is a software component that provides a set of libraries and tools for application developers in need of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) services within the scope of their applications (e.g. to authenticate and authorize the end-users of that (or those) application(s).
These AAA services can be deployed and used directly by the software developer, per application or per application set. Eventually, they may also be provided “as-a-service” by an external entity.

The software provides the general functionalities of traditional AAA and Identity and Access Management (IAM) services, including interfacing with external identity providers, but is deployable and manageable according with cloud principles such as scalability, elasticity and resilience: service instances are automatically deployed in line to the application needs; scale-up/scale-down operations are performed in reaction to workloads; and the lifecycle management is performed using cloud paradigms.
