My webMethods Server can be the calling program, or Security Provider, or can be configured to authenticate the user sign-on for a target web application. For more information, see
Configuring
My webMethods Server Single Sign-On.
My webMethods Server supports third-party identity provider (IDP) initiated single sign-on. You can configure
My webMethods Server to use SAML 2.0 for exchanging authentication and authorization data between
My webMethods Server (Service Provider) and a third-party IDP. In this case,
My webMethods Server will be a SAML consumer and the third-party identity provider (IDP) will be the SAML authority. For information about configuring third-party IDP initiated single sign-on, see
Using Single Sign-On with SAML and a Third-Party Identity
Provider.
