IDENTITY CENTRIC

The architecture of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) system typically includes the following components:
‍

1. Identity Repository: This is a central database that stores information about users, such as their login credentials, roles, and permissions.
   ‍
2. Authentication Server: This component is responsible for verifying the identity of users when they attempt to log in to the system. It may use various authentication methods, such as passwords, tokens, or biometric data, to verify the identity of users.
   ‍
3. Authorisation Server: This component is responsible for enforcing access controls and determining whether a user is allowed to access a particular resource or system. It makes this determination based on the user's role and permissions, as well as any policies or rules that have been defined for the resource or system.
   ‍
4. Directory Service: This component is responsible for maintaining a directory of users, resources, and access controls, and for providing this information to other components of the IAM system as needed.
   ‍
5. User Interface: This is the interface that users interact with to log in to the system, access resources, and manage their accounts and permissions.
   ‍
6. Connectors: These are components that facilitate integration with other systems, such as applications, databases, and directories.
   ‍

Overall, the specific architecture of an IAM system will depend on the specific requirements and capabilities of the system. Some IAM systems may include additional components or have a different arrangement of components, depending on the needs of the organization.
