SSO to Appian Sites

Hi All,

We are looking to build a connectivity between an external portal and Appian Site. The scenario is user will login to external portal and when he/she clicks on a link, it should redirect them to the Appian Site without asking for credentials again i.e. single sign on.

Few queries on the same:

1) Does this works similar to Embedded Interface concept, where all the users should be part of a SAML group which is configured in the Admin Console and they cannot access native appian directly.

2)If it is a SAML journey then whether it should be IDP initiated or SP initiated?

If anyone has tried this before, could you please provide some information.

Thanks.
Hitesh

Hi Hitesh,

We have a similar scenario for a requirement and we are achieving it using SSO with Embedded SAIL concept using SAML with IDP initiated approach. Mostly all information can be found here.
docs.appian.com/.../SAML_for_Single_Sign-On.html

This is very much doable.
If you can elaborate on the issues you are facing, I can help.

Hi Hitesh,

It is same as the embedded one. You have several options as @Rich mentioned. If your company is looking for new SSO things then better to go with Siteminder. it has better options to enable SSO between 'n' number of web applications. Appian is also a web platform so you can implement SSO with other web applications.

Thanks
