Applies to

  • ONTAP System Manager
  • Active IQ Unified Manager
  • Identity Providers (IdP)
  • Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)

Answer

  • SAML is an open standard, so third party IdPs should be able to work with ONTAP SAML authentication
  • Currently the only IdPs that have been qualified for use with System Manager are:
    • Microsoft Active Directory Federated Services (ADFS)
    • Open-source Shibboleth
    • Cisco DUO with ONTAP 9.12.1 and later
  • Other non-qualified IdPs should work with ONTAP if configured correctly, however NetApp Support does not assist with those IdP configurations
