Activating Delegated Authentication

After verifying that the Microsoft Active Directory (AD) credentials of a user in the domain associated with an AD bridge can be used to sign in to IAM, activate delegated authentication for the AD domain. Users transferred into IAM through this AD domain use their AD passwords to authenticate into IAM.

To perform those verification steps, see Testing Delegated Authentication.
  1. Open the navigation menu  and select Identity & Security. Under Identity, select Domains.
  2. Select the name of the identity domain that you want to work in. You might need to change the compartment to find the domain that you want.
  3. Select Security.
  4. Select Delegated Authentication.
  5. Expand the node to the right of the AD Bridge for which you want to activate delegated authentication.
  6. Turn on the Activate Delegated Authentication switch.

    Activate delegated authentication might be unavailable (that is, you can't turn the switch on or off) for one of the following reasons:

    • The status of the AD Bridge is No Clients Found. You can't activate delegated authentication for the AD domain because the AD domain doesn't work until you install a client for the AD domain. Select Select here to download the client to download the client for the AD domain.
    • The status of the AD Bridge is Incompatible Client Found. You can't activate delegated authentication for the AD domain because the AD domain doesn't work until you install the correct version of the client for the AD domain. Select Select here to download the client to download the updated client for the AD domain.
    • The AD Bridge isn't configured for delegated authentication. To configure it:
      1. Select the AD domain.
      2. Select Configuration.
      3. In the Configure the Microsoft Active Directory Domain page, scroll down until you see the Authentication Settings area.
      4. Select Enable local authentication.
      5. Select Save.
      6. In the Save Configuration Changes? dialog box, select OK.
  7. In the Confirmation window, select Activate delegated authentication.
