ForgeRock, a global leader in digital identity, announced new features to ForgeRock Identity Cloud to help enterprises overcome the barriers caused by p******** when moving to the cloud with Pass-Through Authentication and Just-in-Time Migration.
These new features come at a time when many businesses are at a crossroads in their digital transformation journeys. Teams must evaluate the best authentication approach that will both maximize security while simultaneously preserving a seamless user experience. For many organizations, maintaining sensitive p******** on-prem while moving other operations to the cloud creates a significant challenge.
“Our customers are telling us they want to move away from p******** and go passwordless. But a move to cloud often means adding more p******** or forcing password resets, which is a bad experience for users,” said Peter Barker, chief product officer, ForgeRock. “With our new pass-through authentication and just-in-time migration capabilities, ForgeRock Identity Cloud empowers enterprises to move to the cloud without the headaches of managing even more p******** and causing customer inconveniences that can erode brand loyalty.”

Here’s what the new features deliver:
- Pass-Through Authentication (PTA): Adding another set of p******** in the cloud is cumbersome and expensive. To avoid that, PTA allows customers who are ready to move to the cloud and want to keep their p******** on-premises, to use existing user IDs and p******** by authenticating against any identity store, including Active Directory, LDAP, SQL, or even flat files. This innovative approach also simplifies implementation and reduces associated IT costs.
- Just-in-Time Migration: Asking customers to reset their p******** often stalls cloud migration projects because organizations fear customers will abandon their service. ForgeRock’s new Just-in-Time Migration feature removes that hurdle by allowing enterprises to migrate to the ForgeRock Identity Cloud without forcing their customers to change their p********. Organizations can also choose to migrate users gradually by department, location or other factors to enable a phased approach to cloud, thereby reducing unnecessary risks during migration. This incremental approach also provides the flexibility to keep the p******** on-premises for organizations that have stricter regulatory or other compliance needs.
