NetIQ has enhanced the integration between SocialAccess and NetIQ Access Manager 4.1.0 to simplify the configuration. If you are using an older version of Access Manager you must use the generic connector for NetIQ Access Manager. For more information, see Using NetIQ CloudAccess as a Trusted Identity Provider for NetIQ Access Manager. Although this technical reference was written for CloudAccess, it is also applicable if you are using the generic connector for NetIQ Access Manager with SocialAccess.
The connector for NetIQ Access Manager configures your Access Manager Identity Server as a service provider (SP) that consumes the authentication information from SocialAccess. This allows the connector for NetIQ Access Manager to provide federated single sign-on access to Access Manager through SocialAccess. It does not support provisioning. The connector allows SocialAccess to authenticate a user against an identity source and to share this authentication with Access Manager in order to establish the user’s session.
SocialAccess includes this connector with the appliance. The administration console displays the connector automatically once you have installed SocialAccess.
