Activate/Inactivate identity provider

An identity provider centralizes the SSO authentication, moreover, it manages the user authentication. An added identity provider can be activated or inactivated. Activating the identity provider enables the SSO authentication of the users. Inactivating an identity provider restricts the user's authentication and also disables their SSO functionality. Inactivating an identity provider assists in disabling the authentication temporarily if it is no longer requested by the client.
