Add a new identity provider
Before you begin
When it comes to directories, if you use either EAA's Cloud Directory or an Active Directory (AD), you will likely use EAA as both your SP and IdP. This does not generate any SAML.
Deciding which IdP provider type to use is up to the preference of your business. If no IdP has been used before, you will likely use a custom SAML identity provider type. You may add a new IdP and use it to authenticate multiple applications.
In EAA you can use a third-party SAML IdP or EAA as the SAML IdP to authenticate access to your applications. When an IdP such as EAA and a SP such as a SaaS application both implement SAML, they are able to seamlessly authenticate accredited users associated with the IdP to use the SP. See EAA as the SAML identity provider for more information.
