Systems, methods, and storage media for administration of identity management systems within an identity infrastructure

A method for controlling access to an application, comprising:

• requesting to access the application, wherein the application is associated with an identity system;
• determining a status of the identity system, the status comprising one of an available status and an unavailable status, and when the status comprises the unavailable status,
• transmitting a request for additional information,
• receiving the additional information, and
• verifying the additional information by referencing an identity cache associated with the identity system;
• authenticating a user to access the application when at least one of:
• the status comprises the available status, and
• the additional information has been verified;
• in response to authenticating the user at the application, sending a communication from the application to the user, granting the user access to the application;
• and
• storing a subset of at least one of identity metadata and identity data associated with a plurality of users, including at least the user, to the identity cache, wherein the identity cache is at least one of electronically, logistically, logically, and communicatively coupled to the identity system and an orchestrating agent.

A non-transient computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform a method for controlling access to an application, the method comprising:

• requesting to access the application, wherein the application is associated with an identity system;
• determining a status of the identity system, the status comprising one of an available status and an unavailable status, and when the status comprises the unavailable status,
• transmitting a request for additional information,
• receiving the additional information, and
• verifying the additional information by referencing an identity cache associated with the identity system;
• authenticating a user to access the application when at least one of:
• the status comprises the available status, and
• the additional information has been verified;
• in response to authenticating the user at the application, sending a communication from the application to the user, granting the user access to the application;
• and
• storing a subset of at least one of identity metadata and identity data associated with a plurality of users, including at least the user, to the identity cache, wherein the identity cache is at least one of electronically, logistically, logically, and communicatively coupled to the identity system and an orchestrating agent.
