MAS Single Sign-On (SSO) – LDAP sync users to have SAML Authentication type

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

There is a limitation to use LDAP users sync and then use SSO for authentication of synced users.

Scenario: We want to sync users through LDAP and then use SSO (SAML Authentication) for login, so in this case we expect to have some system configuration, so that LDAP synced users have authentication type set as “SAML” and password “Managed by SAML”. Without this configuration, we won’t be able to leverage the SSO functionality.

Users synced through LDAP has authentication type as “LDAP” and password “Managed by LDAP”:

Problem – These users won’t be able to use Single Sign-On (SSO).

Users created manually in MAS, and set the authentication type and password managed by “SAML”:

These users are able to use SSO, but problem is we created the account manually. But, expectation is to sync users from Active Directory.

    Hi,

    Thank you for raising your Idea.

    I think what you are asking for is already possible in MAS today. LDAP users can be set to use LDAP, SAML or local authentication in the user registry sync screen.

    There are some limitations:

    Your LDAP user id must match with your SAML ID

    This is a global setting for all synchronized users.


    I hope this information is useful.
