log in into Appian with OAuth2 token

Question

Hi there, 
 
 As far as I know, it is only possible to use a Single Sign On mechanism with Appian using SAML but one of our clients requires to use OAuth2 tokens instead of SAML. Is that possible? 
 
 Thanks a lot

Though oAuth and SAML both relies on the token or the saml assertion recieved from authorisation server or IDP respectively, oAuth is not an authentication method it is a way of authorising resources.

 Thus Appian provides oAuth only for the webAPIs (as of 21.2) and SAML only for user authentication. 
 So, oAuth tokens cannot be used for user authentication
