SAS PCE for Kintone Application (SAML)
The Kintone application, which follows the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocol can be secured by integrating it with SafeNet Authentication Service Private Cloud Edition (SAS PCE).
This integration is achieved by using SafeNet Access Exchange (SAE) as an Identity Provider (IdP), which allows configuring the Kintone application (client) using SAML protocol. In this integration, SAS PCE provides multi-factor authentication in the context of authentication requests received by the SafeNet Access Exchange IdP from the Kintone application. SafeNet Access Exchange also provides SSO capabilities.
This documentation enables you to integrate SafeNet Access Exchange with SAS PCE for authentication.
In the Kintone application integration with SAS PCE, no return attributes can be passed when using the SafeNet Access Exchange IdP. The same is applicable for all the SAML applications.
The integration comprises the following components:
-
SafeNet Access Exchange (SAE): It is an on-premises IDP, which complements with secure authentication of SAS PCE.
-
SAS PCE: Provides Multi-factor authentication (MFA) to the SAML applications.
-
Kintone application: An application, which follows the SAML authentication protocol.
Supported Use Cases
This Kintone integration with SAS PCE supports the service provider (SP)-initiated flow.
