Identity Provider (IdP) connection

An identity provider (IdP) is a service that authenticates users by using standards-based protocols such as SAML and WS-Federation.

Authentication providers can be configured from the Infor STS administration console. Any SAML 2.0 supported identity providers can be federated with Infor STS.

When you use a third-party identity provider, metadata of the external identity providers can be imported into Infor STS through a URL, a metadata file, or manually by completing the instructions in Creating an IdP connection.

When not connecting to a third-party identity provider, you can complete the instructions in Authentication Store to create a local authentication store.
