Within a federated identity system, which entity accepts tokens from the identity provider?
The relying party is a component of a federated identity system that relies on the identity provider to verify a user's identity. It accepts authentication tokens from the identity provider to grant the user access to resources or services. The other options do not accurately describe this role.
The relying party is also the service provider. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/tfim/6.2.1?topic=configuring-identity-provider-service-provider-roles
D. Relying party
n a federated identity system, the Relying Party (RP) is the entity that accepts authentication tokens issued by the Identity Provider (IdP). The RP uses these tokens to grant access to users without requiring them to authenticate directly with the service. Why Not the Others? Assertion Manager (A): Not a standard term in federated identity systems. Assertions (like SAML assertions) are handled within the IdP or RP but not by a separate entity called an "Assertion Manager." Servicing Party (B): This is not a recognized term in federated identity management. Proxy Party (C): While identity proxies may exist, they are typically intermediaries rather than the final entity that accepts tokens for authentication.
