Configure SSO identity providers

Prev Next

Trellix Wise™ for Private Cloud supports the following identity provider protocols:

  • SAML

  • OIDC (OpenID Connect)

  • LDAP with optional LDAPS (TLS) configuration

The Identity Providers table displays configured providers with Domain, Type, Description, and Status columns. The Status column shows Enabled, Warning, or Disabled.

If you have not configured any identity providers, the page displays an Add Identity Provider button.

Prerequisites
