Informatica web applications and Active Directory Federation Services exchange authentication and authorization information to enable SAML authentication in an Informatica domain.
The following steps describe the basic SAML authentication flow:
A user logs into an Informatica web application.
The application sends a SAML authentication request to AD FS.
AD FS authenticates the user's credentials against the user account information in the LDAP or Active Directory identity store.
AD FS creates a session for the user and sends a SAML assertion token containing security-related information about the user to the web application.
