We are thinking of integrating IBM BAW20 traditional installation with SAML
and OpenIdConnect. Is this a possible integration? Any risks involved with this?
Authentication in BAW can be customized by configuring the underlying
WebSphere Application Server. All specifics to consider on top of
"regular WAS configuration" are listed below:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/baw/20.x?topic=environment-configuring-third-party-authentication-products
For WebSphere, review the following references:
*
SAML:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-nd/8.5.5?topic=au-saml-web-single-sign
* OpenId Connect:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-nd/8.5.5?topic=au-configuring-openid-connect-relying-party
Note that there is also a standard OpenID
which is different from OpenID Connect. While supported by WebSphere it is no
longer widely used.
