22 Configuring third-party authentication
Overview
In third-party authentication, UAM works with the third-party system to authenticate third-party users after
the users send authentication requests. Then UAM permits or denies third-party user access to the
network according to the authentication result.
UAM supports the following types of third-party systems:
• Third-party database
• Third-party Web service
• Customized third-party plug-in
When working with the third-party database, third-party users are authenticated in the third-party
database. You can also configure UAM to periodically back up user information from the third-party
database and then authenticate third-party users locally.
When working with the third-party Web service, UAM uses the third-party Web service API to
authenticate third-party users.
When working with the customized third-party plug-in, UAM uses the customized third-party plug-in to
authenticate third-party users.
Third-party authentication cannot be used together with LDAP authentication. To use third-party
authentication, delete LDAP synchronization policies existing in UAM.
