There are three different ways to authenticate to the Role Mapping Administrator:
Direct login: The user provides credentials (username and password) on the Role Mapping Administrator login page.
Single sign-on through the Roles Based Provisioning Module: A Role Mapping Administrator link is added to the Roles Based Provisioning Module. When a user clicks the link, the Roles Based Provisioning Module passes the user’s credentials to the Role Mapping Administrator.
Single sign-on through Access Manager: Access Manager provides the user's credentials (username and password or SAML token) to the Role Mapping Administrator through Access Manager Identity Injection. The user is not prompted for any credential information.
Direct login is available as soon as the Role Mapping Administrator is installed. Authentication through the Roles Based Provisioning Module and Access Manager requires additional configuration.
