The connector for NetIQ Access Manager provides federated single sign-on access to Access Manager with SAML 2.0 through CloudAccess. It does not support provisioning. The connector allows CloudAccess to authenticate a user against your identity sources and to share this authentication with Access Manager in order to establish the user’s session. You can also configure CloudAccess to provide MobileAccess features for Access Manager users.
CloudAccess includes this connector with the appliance. The connector appears automatically on the Applications palette of the Admin page. After you configure the connector, you must also configure Access Manager to work with the connector.
