In information technology, federated identity has two general meanings:
  1. The virtual reunion, or assembled identity, of a person's user information (or principal), stored across multiple distinct identity management systems. Data is joined together by use of the common token, usually the user name.
  2. A user's authentication process across multiple IT systems or even organizations.
