Logging in using SAML

Use this version 2 API resource to log in to

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

using a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) token. The SAML token is a Base64-encoded XML file that contains a SAML assertion. This token is provided by your identity provider (IDP) after successful login.

If a SAML token was already used to perform SSO login, it can't be used to perform API logins, even if the token hasn't expired yet. You must log in using your username and password.

The loginSaml response includes the session ID and base URL that you include in subsequent REST API calls. Use values from the following fields returned in the response:

icSessionId. A 30-minute REST API session ID that you include in the header for version 2 REST API calls. After the session ID expires, log in again to continue working with the REST API.

For information on retrieving session status details, see Session IDs.

serverUrl. The base URL that you use in all version 2 resource URIs except for loginSaml, for example:

<serverUrl>/api/v2/job

Use the logout resource to end the session.

POST Request

The login request must include a SAML token, which you can obtain from your identity provider.

To log in, use the following URL:

https://<cloud provider>-<region>.informaticacloud.com/ma/api/v2/user/loginSaml

For a list of cloud provider and region values, see Logging in.

With this URL, use the following attributes in a login object:
