Security Provider Management

You can manage security providers in the

MDM Hub

implementation through the Security Providers tool in the Configuration workbench of the

Hub Console

You can add security providers from the default selection internal to the

MDM Hub

or from you own custom-added selection of providers. Internal security providers cannot be removed.

The

MDM Hub

supports the following types of security providers:

Authentication provider: Authenticates a user by validating their identity. Informs the
MDM Hub
that users are who they claim to be. This type of security provider does not validate whether users have the required privileges to access particular
MDM Hub
resources.
Authorization provider: Informs the
MDM Hub
whether users have the required privileges to access particular
MDM Hub
resources.
User profile provider: Informs the
MDM Hub
about individual users, such as user-specific attributes and the roles to which the user belongs.

Internal providers represent internal

MDM Hub

implementations for authentication, authorization, and user profile services.

Some of the

MDM Hub

default providers are super providers. Super providers always return a positive response for authentication and authorization requests. Use a super provider in a development environment when you do not want to configure users, roles, and privileges. Super providers can also be used in a production environment in which security is provided as a layer on top of the

SIF

requests for performance gains.
