    Hello,

    to my knowledge SAML authentication tokens on IBM i are supported by Integrated Web Services (IWS), but SAML token authentication is not supported for 5250/Navigator and other IBM i Host Server and FTP Server Authentication. These support SSO through Kerveros tickets and EIM, NAS setup on IBM i: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6597977.

    Not sure though if anything got change on IBM i 7.6.

    Regards,

    Nikos
