Configuring the ActivID Authentication Portal

The ActivID Authentication Portal acts a Single Sign-On (SSO) service provider (SP) that provides federated, strong, versatile authentication to end users.

It enables users to authenticate to protected resources in a federated network using multiple and extensible methods.

Users are redirected from a Service Provider to the ActivID Authentication Portal to perform authentication. Standardized integration with the ActivID Authentication Portal is possible with either SAML or OpenID/OAuth2.

For further information, go to About the ActivID Authentication Portal.

For information on how to install the ActivID Authentication Portal on the ActivID Appliance, refer to the ActivID Appliance Setup Guide available in the ActivID Customer Portal.

The ActivID Authentication Portal configuration is defined by the ActivID Identity Provider and the associated authentication policies and templates.
