English translation:Identity provider
Explanation:
According to the definition on the website, anyway. Look: "Portale werden als Eintrittspunkte in ein System, das über elektronische Kommunikation erreichbar ist, definiert. Stammportale (Identity Provider) sind jene Portale, an denen die BenutzerInnen mit ihren Zugriffsrechten verwaltet werden. Anwendungsportale sind jene Systeme, die Anwendungen vorgelagert sind und den Zugriff auf die Anwendungen aus dem Portalverbund ermöglichen.
AnwenderInnen melden sich an ihrem Stammportal an und können die gewünschten Zielanwendungen (z.B. GDB, ZMR), bei Vorliegen einer entsprechenden Berechtigung aus der Applikationsliste aufrufen. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_provider "An identity provider is “a trusted provider that lets you use single sign-on (SSO) to access other websites.”. This is exactly what is being described in the German. It's a technical term.

The point about an "identity provider" is that your credentials are managed by the identity provider, which is a separate entity from the place you're ultimately logging into. It acts as a... shall we say, portal? You could invent your own translation for Stammportal, "central login portal" or something (the UK used to have 'Government Gateway' I recall), but, well, the standard English term is right there for you, why not use it?

Explanation:
It would have been nice if you had included some of the source text referring to this term.

The above translation suggestions can be used interchangably, but may again depend on the source context.

base portal


Explanation:
I find a lot of references for base portal. Not so much for master portal, which I wasn't expecting. I thought there would be more of those like in the sense of stammdata, master data.
