About Third-Party Authentication

Using a Third-Party Authentication System enables you to designate an external entity that will perform user authentication for SBM. This option configures SBM to accept authenticated user credentials from an External Identity Provider such as Tivoli, SiteMinder, or Oracle Identity Manager.

You can choose to manage user sessions with or without SSO. SSO enables you to configure authentication settings for an external identity provider that uses SAML2.
