Authenticating Native/Hybrid mobile apps via SCP Identity Authentication Service (IAS)

[gregcarino]

Hi Experts,

I have the following scenario for a customer:

- An existing SCP subaccount has a default Identity Provider set as the corporate IdP.

- We will develop new apps, 1 of which is a Native iOS app deployed to SCP Mobile Services.

- This new application is supposed to authenticate via SCP IAS instead of corporate IdP.

My question:

Since the subaccount's default IdP is the corporate IdP, is there a way in Mobile Services to configure specific native/hybrid apps to authenticate via IAS? Currently, you only have the options in the below screenshot.

I know that you can do the reverse and use IAS as the default and then set up a corporate IdP. But are there other approaches? (assuming we are not allowed to change the default IdP due to governance restrictions).

Cheers,

Greg

Hi,

While i am still trying to de-cipher the ask here, IAS just acts like a reverse proxy and the list you have pasted above represents the Auth mode/protocol as such. Are you trying to authenticate the app users via on-prem IDP ?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Rakshith,

Basically my question is: can you explicitly define, in SCP mobile services, which IdP a hybrid/native app should use?

In my scenario i have both corporate IdP(default) and IAS in my subaccount and would like to specify which IdP an app is using.

Cheers,

Greg
