Configure the Authentication Method

Once you define the authentication method, you associate it with an application in the tenant User Console.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the User Console.
2. Navigate to Applications, Authentication Methods, Create an Authentication method.
3. Specify a name for the authentication method.

   The name you specify is added to the ONPREM_AUTH_METHOD header that the on-premise proxy sends to the credential handling service to determine if the user is prompted for credentials.

   For this example, specify the following authentication method name:

   Test123Auth

4. Select External IDP as the authentication method.
5. Specify the following values in the External IDP Type Configuration section:

   Authentication Method Scheme

   Select Other.

   https://domain/affwebservices/public/saml2sso?SPID=SPID of partnership
