Configure Social Sign-on

You can configure Federation Manager (the federation system) to let users sign-on to a federated resource with their social networking credentials instead of the federation system credentials.

The social sign-on feature consists of the following features:

• Authentication of users using an OAuth authorization server such as Facebook so that users can sign-on to a federated resource using their OAuth authorization server credentials.
• Configuration of a credential selector page that provides users with various identity providers such as SAML 2.0 or Facebook as authentication choices. Users can choose an identity provider for authorization to sign-on to a federated resource.

The features are independent of each other and you can configure the federation system to implement either or both the features.

To use an external IdP using the OAuth protocol in a CA CloudMinder environment, you need to perform configuration procedures in the following environments:

• The SMPS Environment, including authenticating users using an OAuth Authorization Server
• The Management Console Environment
• The Tenant Environment
