4.1 Global Requirements for SAML 2.0 Connectors

All of the SAML 2.0 connectors have unique requirements. However, some of the requirements are the same no matter which SAML 2.0 connector you use. Ensure that you meet the following global requirements before configuring a SAML 2.0 connector.

  • SAML 2.0 connectors are not supported in a mixed Access Manager environment. All components of Access Manager, the IDP clusters, Access Gateway clusters, and the Administration Console must be at version 4.3 or later for the SAML 2.0 connectors to work.

  • An understanding of identity federation using the SAML 2.0 protocol. For more information, see Section 1.2.1, Understanding SAML 2.0.
