FEDWILL ACCELERATOR
A cleaner boundary between applications and identity providers.
Fedwill’s Auth Proxy approach creates a reusable identity layer that reduces provider-specific logic inside business applications and helps teams manage authentication consistently.

WHY IT MATTERS
Applications should not need to understand every detail of the identity platform.
When each service integrates identity independently, security logic becomes duplicated and migration becomes harder. A controlled proxy or abstraction layer can centralise provider interaction and simplify application responsibilities.

01
What it can simplify
Identity integration as a platform capability.
Token handlingCreate consistent patterns for validating and translating identity information used by applications.
Provider integrationContain Cognito, Entra or other provider-specific behaviour behind a clearer application boundary.
User contextExpose application-relevant identity and role information without leaking every provider detail.
Security policyConsolidate important access checks and integration rules where appropriate.
02
Why the boundary matters
Architecture should support both security and maintainability.
Reduced couplingBusiness services depend on a stable identity contract rather than provider implementation details.
Consistent controlsApply common token and access expectations across applications.
Easier changeIdentity platform changes affect fewer parts of the product.
Better ownershipGive engineering teams a clear place to reason about identity integration.
