Original Abstract Submitted

Novel techniques are disclosed for enabling identity cloud service for virtual private label clouds (vPLCs). A vPLC is created for a reseller of a Cloud Services Provider (CSP) using CSP-provided infrastructure in a region such that the reseller can provide one or more reseller-offered cloud services to customers of the reseller. In some embodiments, the identity management may be configured with either a shared identity cloud service (IDCS) stack model or an independent IDCS stack model. In certain embodiments, two-tier vPLC-aware identity management functions are performed for resellers of the CSP and customers of the resellers.
