Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product are presented to support computing systems of different enterprises that interact within a federated computing environment. Federated single-sign-on operations can be initiated at the computing systems of federation partners on behalf of a user even though the user has not established a user account at a federation partner prior to the initiation of the single-sign-on operation. For example, an identity provider can initiate a single-sign-on operation at a service provider while attempting to obtain access to a controlled resource on behalf of a user. When the service provider recognizes that it does not have a linked user account for the user that allows for a single-sign-on operation with the identity provider, the service provider creates a local user account. The service provider can also pull user attributes from the identity provider as necessary to perform the user account creation operation.
