AI Technical Summary
In hybrid industrial environments where critical control processes are executed on-premises but user configurations are maintained in the cloud, connectivity failures to the cloud can disrupt user authentication and authorization, leading to operational risks and safety issues.
Implementing a local identity provider that caches user identities and subscription information when connected to the cloud, allowing for fallback authentication and authorization when cloud connectivity is lost, ensuring continuous operation of on-premises systems.
Enables reliable on-premises operations by providing fallback authentication and authorization, maintaining system availability and safety even during cloud connectivity failures.
