CloudAccess supports the use of various identity sources for authenticating users and for provisioning accounts to the SaaS applications. After initializing the appliance, you can configure one or more identity sources on the Admin page of the administration console. In addition to LDAP and JDBC database identity sources that are capable of importing users and provisioning them to SaaS applications, CloudAccess supports many other non-provisioning identity sources such as social media identity sources (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.), the Self-Service User Store (SSUS), and SAML 2.0 Inbound (SAML2 In).
This chapter provides information about LDAP and JDBC identity sources that cache and provision user accounts. For information about other identity sources, see the following:
