Security Token Service and Knowledge Center
SDL Knowledge Center integrates with a Security Token Service to externalize authentication and to provide a Single Sign-On experience across all SDL Knowledge Center components.
For a successful integration, the Security Token Service must support specific protocols and token formats.
The following protocol requirements for a Security Token Service are based on active or passive profile categories.
- Passive profile protocol requirements
- WS Federation
- Active profile protocol requirements
- WS Trust 1.3
The Security Token Service is required to generate security tokens using the SAML 1.1 format.
The following diagram shows all required client connections for the SDL Knowledge Center Federated services. The arrow captions provide information about the schema (HTTP or HTTPS) and the dependent protocol or technology in use.
