Introduction

The support of a shared device model for Workcloud Communication products focuses on AD/ADFS (Active Directory / Active Directory Federated Services) using the OAuth2 protocol. The widespread adoption of PTT Pro and Profile Manager has created the need to support SAML 2.0 (SAML2) as an authorizing protocol.
Keycloak adds the support of SAML2 without changing the current product support of OAuth2. The SAML2 capability is provided by the Authentication Connection Service (ACS), which brokers access authorization between the SAML Identity Management infrastructure and the OAuth2 authorization capabilities of Workcloud Communication.
This guide describes how the ACS architecture is positioned in the Workcloud Communication environment and how to configure the PTT Pro and Profile Manager OAuth authorization services' connection services into the SAML2 Identity Management (IdP) infrastructure.
