SAS PCE for SailPoint IdentityIQ
The SailPoint IdentityIQ 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 using SafeNet Access Exchange (SAE) as an Identity Provider (IDP), allowing configuration of the SailPoint IdentityIQ application (client) using the SAML protocol. In this integration, SAS PCE provides multi-factor authentication (MFA) for authentication requests received by SAE from the SailPoint application. SAE also provides Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities. The integration supports the SP-initiated SSO use case.
This documentation enables you to integrate SafeNet Access Exchange with SAS PCE for authentication.
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.
-
SailPoint IdentityIQ: An application using the SAML authentication protocol.
