CA Arcot A-OK

You use the CA Arcot A–OK Adapter^™ (A–OK Adapter) to integrate SiteMinder with the hosted CA Arcot A–OK service.

Note: The integration requires a minimum version of the A–OK Adapter. For more information about the supported version, see the r12.0 SP3 SiteMinder Platform Support Matrix.

The purpose of the following diagram is to:

• Illustrate how the A–OK Adapter and its components integrate in a SiteMinder environment.
• Detail the major components and their general relationships. This is not a workflow diagram.

Note: For more information about installing and configuring the A–OK Adapter, see the CA Arcot A–OK Adapter for CA SiteMinder Installation and Configuration Guide.

Authentication in a Hosted CA Arcot Integration

CA Arcot A–OK assumes authentication services in an integrated environment by guiding users through the authentication and risk evaluation processes. CA Arcot A–OK uses a series of SAML requests and responses to step through the authentication workflow.

Note: For more information about the authentication workflow, see the CA Arcot A–OK Adapter for CA SiteMinder Installation and Configuration Guide.

The result of the risk evaluation is a risk score and corresponding advice, which is a recommend action, such as allow or deny the authentication.

CA Arcot A–OK forwards the advice to the Policy Server, which if necessary, continues with authorization services.

Note: For more information about managing user credentials and configuring the rules associated with the risk evaluation process, see the CA Arcot A–OK User Administration Guide.
