Adding Applications

You can add Custom Applications, if you're assigned to either the identity domain administrator role or the application administrator role.

See Assigning Users to Roles for information about assigning users to administrator roles.

You can add the following types of custom applications in IAM:
  • App Catalog application: Add an application from the Application Catalog, which contains pre-configured application templates.

  • Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) application: Accessed by multiple users and hosted in a secure and protected place (server). Create a SAML application that supports SAML for single sign-on. This allows users to single sign-on (SSO) into your software as a service (SaaS) applications that support SAML for SSO.

  • Mobile application: Hosted directly on the resource owner's browser, machine, or mobile device. An example of this type of application is an Android or iPhone application. A mobile application can run in multiple environments outside of your control. Since these environments aren't trusted, this type of application has reduced integration options.

  • Confidential application: Accessed by multiple users and hosted in a secure and protected place (server). The application uses OAuth 2.0. Applications that can protect their OAuth client id and client secret are called confidential applications

  • Enterprise application: Web applications that require App Gateway to integrate with IAM for authentication purposes. App Gateway passes HTTP headers to the application after authenticating and authorizing user's access.
