ACCESS TO PHYSICAL RESOURCES BASED THROUGH IDENTITY PROVIDER

Abstract:

Disclosed are various approaches for providing a virtual badge credential to a user's device that is enrolled with a management service as a managed device. Upon authentication of a user's identity via an identity provider, a virtual badge credential can be provided to an application on the client device. The virtual badge credential can be presented by the client device to access control readers to gain access to physical resources, such as doors and buildings, that are secured by the access control readers.
