IBMid OIDC provider type
IBMid is the IBM OpenID Connect identity provider. If your identity provider (IdP) does not support OpenID Connect, but supports SAML 2.0, you can use IBMid to configure an OpenID Connect namespace as your authentication provider in Cognos® Analytics.
With this namespace configuration, you can federate Cognos Analytics with most SAML 2.0 identity providers. As a result, when users log on to Cognos Analytics, they are redirected to the IBMid sign-on page where they type their email address. If the email address is recognized by IBMid, the users are redirected to their organization SAML 2.0 identity provider logon page. In this page, the users complete the authentication process by providing their credentials. Then, they can access Cognos Analytics.
