How to create an APM policy for on-prem application that uses SAML
Hi!
Depending on what you need to achieve you may :
-Configure APM to authenticate user using your ADFS SAML IDP. On user side nothing change compare to how it's working now : They browse https://mysite.example.com => APM redirect to myadfs.example.com => User login and get redirect to https://mysite.example.com => APM authenticate user and pass traffic to backend => backend redirect on more time to myadfs.example.com but as the user is already logged-in ADFS no action is required and the user automatically get redirect back to the backend. (In this case the SSO is built-in SAML : you authenticate once in ADFS and this authent is passed to APM and backend)
-Option2 is to configure your backend server to allows kerberos / header authentication. Then configure an SSO profile on APM to pass the user authentication to backend with kerberos / NTLM
Other option can also work but are more complex and may consume more concurrent session licence on APM.
