SAML Authentication Support in PAM360

In today’s digital landscape, organizations rely on multiple applications and services to enhance operational efficiency and meet diverse business needs. However, this widespread adoption of applications and services has led to a significant increase in the number of login credentials that employees must manage, thus leading to weak or repetitive passwords that are susceptible to compromise.

PAM360 addresses these challenges by seamlessly integrating with your organization’s SAML infrastructure, enabling users to access PAM360 using existing native credentials. With Single Sign-On (SSO) support, users can authenticate to PAM360 directly from their native applications, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter their credentials. This streamlines the user experience, reduces the frequency of logins, minimizes the security risks associated with managing multiple credentials, and enhances overall productivity. Additionally, Single Logout (SLO) ensures that users can securely log out of all the applications with a single click, preventing orphaned sessions and maintaining security. With SAML 2.0 SSO and SLO support, PAM360 simplifies authentication and session management, delivering an efficient, secure, and user-friendly experience for organizations and their employees.

By navigating through the provided help documents, administrators can gain a comprehensive understanding of how to configure various Identity Providers (IdP) for SAML authentication to address their specific organizational requirements. These resources include detailed steps for troubleshooting common issues, frequently asked questions, and guidance on configuring SAML for the PAM360 application.

1. SAML Configuration in PAM360 - Overview

Setting up SAML authentication in PAM360 is a structured process that involves configuring both the Identity Provider (IdP) and PAM360 as the Service Provider (SP). The key steps are outlined below:

1. Adding an Identity Provider (IdP): Begin by adding an IdP information. This IdP will handle authentication requests from users attempting to log in to PAM360.
2. Configuring PAM360 as the Service Provider (SP): Next, register PAM360 as the SP within your IdP console. Use the details provided by PAM360 while adding the IdP to establish a secure, trusted connection for authentication purposes.
3. Completing IdP Configuration in PAM360: Finalize the setup by importing the IdP metadata into PAM360. This step ensures that PAM360 can validate SAML assertions received from the IdP during user authentication.

2. Supported Identity Providers by PAM360

PAM360 supports integration with various leading IdPs, including:

1. Microsoft Entra ID
2. Okta
3. Google Workspace
4. Zoho Directory
5. Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
6. ADSelfService Plus
