How authentication works with IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center and SAML

When a user points a browser to the IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center URL, IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center checks if a session had been previously created for the user.

  1. If no session had been previously created, IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center redirects the user to the configured identity provider for authentication.
  2. If authentication is successful, the identity provider sends IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center a message requesting that IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center grant access to the user.
  3. The user is granted access and redirected to pages in IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center.
