We offer two methods of single sign-on (SSO) integration: Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and simple one-way post logins. Target users for SSOs include system admins and all users. SSO integrations can be used to make logging into the Acquia DAM seamless and to create user accounts, authenticate users, and map user roles from internal databases.

You'll work with your system admin and customer success manager to determine the preferred SSO integration and set it up on your DAM site. 

Two-factor authentication will be in place if your integrated SSO method has it in place.

SAML

We offer a federated implementation with SAML version 2.0, or SAML2. SAML is a well-supported standard, published by the Oasis standards group, and provides federated authentication by redirecting a user’s web browser to an authentication server run by your company. Upon successful authorization, the user’s web browser is redirected back to the DAM with a security token. The security token is used to complete the authorization process.

For technical details about configuring a SAML SSO on the SAML Settings page, go to SAML SSO Configuration.

Simple one-way login

The simplest SSO available is the simple one-way login. This login allows one-way authentication from any system that implements the concept of individual authenticated users. It's been designed primarily for ease of implementation and follows several best practice data security policies.

Go to Simple One-Way SSO Configuration for more details about this option.
