Overview

You can use ONTAP security APIs to manage security settings for the cluster and SVMs.

SAML

Configure the SAML 2.0 SP (Service Provider) protocol inside ONTAP. Doing so redirects the authentication task to a third-party Identity Provider (IDP) that can utilize any number of approaches for multi-factor authentication. After SAML authentication is enabled, all interactive web access (System Manager, SPI) is authenticated via SAML and a third-party IDP.
