    How to create an Authorization server in CA SiteMinder and what are the APIs are there in the CA SiteMinder to support OAUTH2.0.

    I did not find any document which suggest the steps need to be taken to create Authorization server.

    It is very easy adding Authorization server for  OAUTH2.0 application on Okta.

     

    Please help asap..

    If you're using the CA API Gateway, then that would be your Authorization Server using the OAuth Toolkit I would imagine.

     

    CA API Management OAuth Toolkit - Home - CA API Management OAuth Toolkit - 4.2 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

     

    And then offload the authentication event itself from API GW -> CA SSO by customizing the log in flow. 

     

    Support Optional Authentication Mechanisms - CA API Management OAuth Toolkit - 4.2 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    CA SSO itself, without the API GW, supports OIDC Provider with 12.7. But doesn't have the same fuller feature set of OAuth 2.0 support that API GW has so far as I've seen (but easier to setup and manage if all you need is OIDC primarily and optionally some static scopes  ).

     

    Edit: Well it was moved from the API Community so my response above doesn't make as much sense! Assumed it was API GW related since it was there lol.

     

    =======

    For CA SSO you need 12.7 and Access Gateway. The instructions at Docops pretty much spell it all out pretty well to support OIDC Provider.

     

    Use CA Single Sign-On as OpenID Connect Provider - CA Single Sign-On - 12.7 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    If that's all you need, it's actually pretty painless to get rolling with it by setting up the secure redirect.jsp realm, create the OAuth Provider and register some clients.

    Ca's official stance is that Ca SSO product will be never made to act as OAuth Authorization Server(forcing customers to buy another product or go away from their SSO product to other AM products like Okta,OpenAM which provide all together) although in latest versions (12.7/8) it has those capacbilities inherently to support OIDC.

    So implementing OIDC, do i need to installer of CA, means how can we configure the Authorization server.

    Do you have the steps to do that.
