Covisint Identity Platform

Covisint provided a multi-tenant platform for external identity (suppliers/partners/consumers) and IoT, combining identity services (user directories, auth, consent/scopes) with API tooling and portals widely used by automakers and large B2B exchanges. Post-acquisition, OpenText describes Covisint as part of its Business Network and IAM portfolio (e.g., Active Access).

Key Capabilities

  • Standards-based login (OIDC/OAuth 2.0): Developer guidance documents 3-legged and 2-legged OAuth flows, the OpenID Connect request/ID token model, and predefined OIDC scopes (openid, profile, email, address, phone).

  • B2B/CIAM scenarios: Reference materials show patterns for B2E, B2C, B2B, and industry exchanges, with consented scope-based access and app launch via hosted portals.

  • IoT & device identity: Platform feature lists include X.509 mutual authentication, device management, and event/command flows for connected products.

  • Ecosystem usage: Public portals and KBs (e.g., automotive supplier portals) illustrate active, large-scale external identity deployments on Covisint/Active Access.

Limitations

  • SAML support evidence: While third parties reference SAML, vendor-hosted Covisint developer pages emphasize OIDC/OAuth.

  • Branding & product mapping: “Covisint Identity Platform” is no longer marketed as a standalone brand; capabilities surface under OpenText offerings.

  • Documentation depth: Some legacy docs persist on developer.covisint.com, but broader technical references are distributed across OpenText product pages.
