Identity Provider in AppScan Enterprise

Identity Provider (IdP) is a third-party user authentication service that communicates with Service Provider (SP). Based on the specification, different organization opt various IdP services. When you attempt to login to AppScan Enterprise application as an SP that has implemented single sign-on (SSO) authentication through SAML service, sends request to the associated IdP service to authenticate the user credentials for log in. IdP processes the authentication request by verifying the user credentials available in the users database directory such as Active Directory or LDAP that manages your AppScan Enterprise users. On successful user identification, the IdP triggers assertion confirmation to the SP to establish a session and allows that specific user to login.

Depending on the login security protocol of your organization the AppScan Enterprise application login methods might involve using only username and password or Multi-factor authentication (MFA), or a combination of both these methods.
