Enabling SAML Authentication with Active Directory Federation Services in Informatica 10.4.0

Overview

Overview

You can configure Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication in an Informatica version 10.4.0 domain using the Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) identity provider.
Security Assertion Markup Language is an XML-based data format for exchanging authentication information between a service provider and an identity provider. In an Informatica domain, an Informatica web application is the service provider.
You can configure the following Informatica web applications to use SAML authentication:
  • Informatica Administrator
  • Informatica Analyst
  • Metadata Manager
  • Enterprise Data Catalog
  • Enterprise Data Preparation
You can configure an Informatica domain to use the following versions of AD FS:
  • Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services 2.0
  • Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services 4.0
SAML authentication cannot be used in an Informatica domain configured to use Kerberos authentication.
