IAM (Identity and Access Management)

Single Sign-On

Single Sign-On allows the users to use an existing authentication mechanism, which provides centralized access for the users.

Configured SAML authentication

Appranix accepts only SAML assertions from the configured Identity Provider(IdP) in each account. Appranix supports SAML authentication with various Identity Providers(IdP). Users can log in to Appranix by using their account URL and login credentials provided by their IdP. This section displays the entity ID and Assertion Consumer Service(ACS) URL’s details about the configured SAML authentication.
