Issue
- RSA Authentication Agent for Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
- SAML integration with the RSA Cloud Authentication Service
Resolution
However, there are some situations where SAML integration may be the better choice:
- Require SecurID as the primary authentication method and AD FS is running on Windows Server 2012 or 2016 (the agent can only provide additional/secondary authentication unless AD FS is running on Windows Server 2019 or later).
- Require FIDO token authentication (FIDO is not supported by the agent).
- Prefer not to install and maintain additional software on your AD FS server(s). The agent must be installed on each AD FS server in your server farm.
