# Identity Bridge

## Identity Bridge

The Identity Bridge feature in RapidIdentity facilitates secure network connectivity from a RapidIdentity Cloud tenant to an on-premise service such as a database or a web server. To do this, you will need to set up Agents, which are pieces of software installed on an on-premise machine that communicate with the RapidIdentity Cloud infrastructure to host and manage one or more bridges.

          Note

          

Each bridge facilitates communication from RapidIdentity Cloud to a single on-premise service. Agents may have multiple bridges.
