Overview
CDNetworks supports SAML based SSO authentication. If your enterprise organization already has its own account scheme and wants to manage members of the organization to use the CDNetworks console, you can use the Identification Provider (IDP) function without creating sub-accounts for each member of the organization.The ID provider allows you to log in to the CDNetworks console using a single sign on in your organization’s internal account.
Currently, CDNetworks supports SAML based SSO authentication login on browser pages.
