IBM MaaS360 Integrations Courses:
Configuring Verify (Cloud Identity) and ADFS for zero-touch authentication in MaaS360
In this lab, you explore integrating IBM MaaS360, IBM security Verify (Cloud Identity), and Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS). In this scenario, Cloud Identity acts as an alternate IaaS (Identity as a Service) provider to ADFS so when ADFS detects a mobile device user, it redirects the authentication request to Cloud Identity. Cloud Identity works with MaaS360 to manage device compliance and enrollment requirements. This lab walks you through integrating all 3 tools in a cohesive, zero-touch, architecture that does not impact your business operations.
Setting up the MaaS360 Cloud Extender
The IBM MaaS360 Cloud Extender is a lightweight
agent that runs as a Windows service.
You install the Cloud Extender on a
Windows server behind your firewall so users and
devices can use internal
resources, like directory services, email, applications, or file shares.
In this video, you learn about the Cloud
Extender, its modules, and related MaaS360 services.
You also learn how to get the Cloud Extender
installation package and license key.
Configuring MaaS360 with Active Directory to authenticate and authorize users
The MaaS360 Cloud Extender is a lightweight software module that you install in your environment. You use the Cloud Extender to integrate MaaS360 with your behind the firewall corporate resources.
In this lab, you set up the MaaS360 Cloud Extender to integrate with Active Directory (AD) as an LDAP. You configure the User Authentication module to support self-service enrollment so that device users can enroll in MaaS360 with their corporate credentials. You configure the User Visibility module to import users of specific groups into Maas360 from AD. You can use these users and groups to assign policies and distribute corporate content. Taking advantage of an existing directory service eliminates the need for administrators to create local users and groups in Maas360. You also learn Cloud Extender testing and troubleshooting techniques.
