Solution Summary
This guide describes Workday integration with RSA (or ID Plus) using SAML 2.0. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.
Use Case
Integration Types
My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to WORKDAY users leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in WORKDAY. SP-initiated SSO is 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. For more information Available Now: My Page SSO Enhancements - RSA Community - 680715
Relying Party integration allows WORKDAY users’ web browsers to be automatically redirected to RSA Cloud Access Service for authentication. With Relying Party integration, Cloud Access Service can manage only additional authentication or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication.
Supported Features
This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with Microsoft Office 365 using each integration type.

Configuration Summary
This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate Workday with RSA using all of the integration types.
This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.
All RSA and Workday components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
