Configuring SAML 2.0 authentication

As a BMC Helix Single Sign-On administrator, you can configure BMC Helix SSO server to authenticate users through SAML 2.0.

The service provider (SP) hosts and protects the services that an end user accesses. BMC Helix SSO is configured as an SP for BMC products. The identity provider (IdP) authenticates users and provides details of the authentication information to the SP.
