Install and configure the HPE Identity Manager service

Service Manager (SM) leverages HPE Identity Manager (IdM) to support Single Sign-On (SSO) using SAML 2.0. To set up SAML SSO for Service Manager, you need to deploy the IdM service and create a trust relationship with a third-party identity provider (IdP). In the SAML SSO process, the IdM service acts as a service provider (SP) to the IdP.

  • For SM SAML SSO, you can use only the IdM service package released as a web archive (WAR) file, which is version 1.10.2. Currently, you must not use the IdM service bundled in Service Manager Service Portal, which is not supported for SAML SSO. For more information about how to set up SAML SSO for Service Manager, see SAML Single Sign-On.
  • Currently, only Microsoft ADFS 2.0 or 3.0 is supported as an identity provider (IdP) for IdM.

Prerequisite

You must have a third-party identity provider (that is, ADFS 2.0 or 3.0) installed in your system.

To deploy a single IdM instance, complete the following tasks.

Next steps

Next, you need to configure SAML authentication in the Service Manager Server, Web Tier, SRC, and Mobility Client and verify that your SAML SSO setup is successful. For details, see the SAML Single Sign-On setup.
