  1. Ensure that you have successfully set up the IdPs of your choice. For information, see Prerequisites for Configuring Access Authentication.
  2. From the Cloud Services Portal, click Administration > Access Authentication, and then click the Authentication Profiles tab.
  3. On the Authentication Profiles tab, click Add Configuration and choose one of the following authentication protocols:
    • LDAP: LDAP allows the use of Microsoft Windows Active Directory (MS AD) to verify the identity of users and user groups. One or more Active Directory servers can be used to implement security policies within an organization. When you choose this option, ensure that you enable the MS AD Sync service, so you can synchronize user groups accordingly. For information on how to enable services, see Enabling and Disabling Services on On-Prem Hosts.
    • SAML: SAML authentication uses the SAML 2.0 protocol to authenticate users. This is an open standard that allows IdPs to pass authorization credentials to service providers.
    • OpenID Connect: OpenID Connect is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol that allows clients to verify user identity based on the authentication performed by an authorization server. This protocol allows you to perform SSO (single sign-on) and introduces ID token, which allows the client to verify the identity of the user and obtain basic profile information about the user.
