General settings for a Windows IdP
Access Management uses the following settings to define identity providers (IdPs) that use the Windows authentication protocol:
- Key
-
A unique identifier for the IdP. The key is case sensitive and not editable once you save the new identity provider.
Optionally, you can include the key together with the user name from the identity provider to form a name that is specific to this provider. This may be useful when supporting multiple providers where user names could be duplicated. For more information, refer to the description of Separator.
- Name
-
A name for the IdP. This name will appear on the user sign-in screen to represent the IdP as an option to authentication. The name must be unique within Access Management.
- Description
-
Text that describes the IdP and its use. This description is visible only in Access Management.
- Icon URL
-
The URL of an icon that represents the IdP.
This icon will appear along with the IdP's name on the user sign-in screen as well as in the Access Management user interface. If you do not provide an icon, Access Management will use a generic IdP icon.
- Provider type
- The type of IdP, which in this case must be Windows.
