This topic tells you how to configure a single sign-on partnership between Layer7 SiteMinder as the identity provider and Single Sign‑On for VMware Tanzu Application Service as the service provider.

Layer7 SiteMinder (formally known as CA Single Sign-On) is a Web Access Management system that supports advanced authentication, risk-based security policies, and federated identities.

Single Sign‑On supports service provider-initiated authentication flow and single logout. It does not support identity provider-initiated authentication flow. All Single Sign‑On communication takes place over SSL.

Prerequisites

To integrate Layer7 SiteMinder with Single Sign‑On you must have the following:

  • Layer7 SiteMinder v12.52 or later
  • A certificate signed by a certificate authority

Note To configure SAML, you must have the Single Sign-On service broker installed on your Ops Manager deployment. You need to create a plan, grant any plan administrators, and specify any organizations this plan should be the authentication authority for. For help configuring plans, see the Manage Service Plans topic.
