Abstract
A secure connection is established between an IAM server on a data communication network and an on-premises active directory using a zero trust tunnel based on TCP forwarding. An authentication request is received from a gateway device, for the user to access a service provider hosting applications, responsive to a user request for access to the service provider hosting applications. Responsive to recognizing the user of the authentication request being associated with the established SSO session, an assertion is returned to the gateway that the user is authenticated to access the service provider. An authentication request is received from the service provider, for access to a specific application. Responsive to the group information associated with the user, an assertion is returned to the service provider that user is authenticated for use of the specific application.
