SAML

SAML authentication is a way for a service provider, such as the Tyk Dashboard or Portal, to assert the Identity of a User via a third party.

Tyk Identity Broker can act as the go-between for the Tyk Dashboard and Portal and a third party identity provider. Tyk Identity broker can also interpret and pass along information about the user who is logging in such as Name, Email and group or role metadata for enforcing role based access control in the Tyk Dashboard.

Examples

We've outlined a series of example configurations below for use with the SAML handler:

• Logging into the dashboard using SAML
• Logging into Tyk Portal using SAML
• Generating a Standard Auth Token using SAML
