  • 1.  Is it possible to authenticate for two apps. 

    Posted Jan 23, 2019 09:22 PM

    The scenario is two applications are configured to use CA SSO/SAML for authenticatication. The user logs into first app and the app has some service end points from the second App (which is again configured for CA SSO/SAML authentication enabled). Is it possible to configure CA SSO to authenticate for both apps simultaneously when the user opens the first App?

    Hi Ravishankar,

     

    Yes you can do SSO between 2 different applications. There are mainly
    2 ways :

     

    1 - Both Applications are protected with the 2 SSO environments,
    which share the same Key Store;

     

    2 - Both Applications are protected with Federation SAML;

    From you description

     

    "The user logs into first app and the app has some service end
    points from the second App (which is again configured for CA
    SSO/SAML authentication enabled)."

     

    So configuring SAML Federation between both entities will allow you to
    log in the first application as IdP and browse the second application
    as SP in SSO.

     

    I hope this helps,

     

    Best Regards,
