1.3 Typical SAM Deployment

You deploy the SaaS Account Management appliance as a single node in your Access Manager environment. Clustering is not currently supported.

You must deploy the appliance behind the firewall to enable it to communicate with your LDAP server. You must also open the firewall to the SaaS applications to allow user account provisioning and authentications.

The following diagram illustrates one possible scenario for deploying SaaS Account Management in your Access Manager environment. For additional information about deployment options, refer to the Access Manager documentation on the NetIQ documentation website.
