Enabling SAML Authentication with Oracle Access Manager for Web Applications

Back Next

Overview

You can configure Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication in an Informatica 10.5 domain using the Oracle Access Manager identity provider.

An identity provider is an entity that provides authentication as a consumable service by applications. Platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure support various third-party identity providers to authenticate requests by applications on their platforms.

SAML 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

Informatica 10.5 supports Oracle Access Manager 12.2.1.

SAML authentication cannot be used in an Informatica domain configured to use Kerberos authentication.
