This section provides information about installing an authentication service, such as One SSO Provider (OSP) or OpenText Access Manager, which OpenText Identity Governance uses for login authentication and allows you to configure OpenText Identity Governance for single sign-on (SSO) access.
OpenText Identity Governance requires one of the following scenarios for the authentication service:
OSP
OpenText Access Manager
OpenText Access Manager configured to connect to OSP
Ensure that the version of OSP and OpenText Identity Governance you use is supported. For more information, see Section 2.4, Hardware and Software Requirements.
IMPORTANT:OpenText Identity Governance always uses an authentication service as the login mechanism, even in a non-SSO environment. You must have OSP or OpenText Access Manager installed before installing OpenText Identity Governance.
You must understand the OpenText Identity Governance authentication process before you start any installation or integration. Next, you must select whether to use OSP, OpenText Access Manager, or OpenText Access Manager with OSP as your authentication service for OpenText Identity Governance.
Use the following information to determine which authentication service works best for your environment, and then use the appropriate section to either install OSP or integrate OpenText Access Manager with OpenText Identity Governance.
