Configuring SAML as a Third-Party Identity Provider Instance to Authenticate Users

You can configure a third-party identity provider that is used to authenticate users in the Workspace ONE Access service.

Complete the following tasks before using adding the third-party identity provider instance.

• Verify that the third-party instances are SAML 2.0 compliant and that the Workspace ONE Access service can reach the third-party instance.
• Obtain the appropriate third-party metadata information to add when you configure the identity provider in the Workspace ONE Access console. The metadata information you obtain from the third-party instance is either the URL to the metadata or the actual metadata.
