  • Ensure you have meet the global requirements for SAML 2.0 connectors. For more information, see Section 4.1, Global Requirements for SAML 2.0 Connectors.

  • An Amazon AWS administrator account.

  • Read through and understand the single sign-on documentation from Amazon for single sign-on to the AWS Directory Service. For more information, see AWS Directory Service Single Sign-On.

  • The Amazon AWS attributes for Role and Role Session Name.

  • The connector for Amazon AWS does not provision user account. You must create user accounts in Amazon AWS that match the user account in the identity store for single sign-on to function.

The federation instructions contain metadata specific to Access Manager, certificates, and any other information you need to properly configure the federated connection.
