Solution Summary

This guide describes the configuration steps involved in integrating Nutanix Prism Central with RSA Cloud Authentication service using SAML 2.0.

Use Case

 Nutanix Prism Central can be integrated with RSA using IDR SSO Agent. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to Nutanix Prism Central. 
   

Integration Types 

My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to Nutanix Prism Central users leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in Nutanix Prism Central. Both SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO are supported. Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR. Existing SSO integrations using IDR My Applications continue to be supported and will be listed in this document as applicable.

 

Note: RSA will continue to maintain existing SAML SSO integrations using IDR My Applications. At a to-be-determined future date, RSA will announce the end-of-life (EOL) date for the SAML SSO support with the IDR.

SSO Agent integrations use SAML 2.0 or HFED technologies to direct users’ web browsers to RSA SecurID Access for authentication. SSO Agents also provide Single Sign-On to other applications using the RSA Application Portal.
