Rest API Authentication in Client with SAML enabled

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

Could we use SAML authentication for launching Rest APIs on a given client where SAML was enabled for AWI?

The User and Department used for login via AWI can use SAML Login Type after having implemented SAML integration as per the documentation

 

Environment

Release : 12.3

Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE

Resolution

SAML is ONLY supported when using AWI as mentioned in the documentation.

For Rest API you cannot use the same Department where SAML was enabled, so you need to create a different department and user for Rest API in that client and use standard basic authentication.
