4.0 Installing an Authentication Service

This section provides information about installing an authentication service, such as One SSO Provider (OSP) or Access Manager, which Identity Governance uses for login authentication and allows you to configure Identity Governance for single sign-on access.

Identity Governance requires one of the following scenarios for the authentication service:

  • OSP

  • Access Manager

  • Access Manager configured to connect to OSP

Ensure that the version of OSP and Identity Governance you use is supported. For more information, see Section 2.4, Hardware and Software Requirements.

IMPORTANT:Identity Governance always uses an authentication service as the login mechanism, even in a non-SSO environment. You must have OSP or Access Manager installed before installing Identity Governance.

You must understand the Identity Governance authentication process before you start any installation or integration. Next, you must select whether to use OSP, Access Manager, or Access Manager with OSP as your authentication service for Identity Governance.

Use the following information to determine which authentication service works best for your environment, and then use the appropriate section to either install OSP or integrate Access Manager with Identity Governance.
