Hi All,

We have an iOS application running in on premise SMP. There we used LDAP to authenticate the users. We are migrating this iOS application to BTP now. In BTP how we can configure the LDAP authentication which is similar to SMP.

Regards,

Shyam

Hi shyam.prasad11,

On BTP your application relies on an instance of XSUAA Service (Authentication Service). This in turn will look into how the subaccount is setup in terms of authentication. Also, all authentication on BTP will be delegated to an Identity Provider Software (IdP). On most cases, this logon will happen for users of all services though the SAML protocol.

Since authentication is delegated, BTP doesn't really control which authentication protocol is supported. Therefore, in order to support LDAP authentication, you must first decide on which IdP software you are going to use. SAP has an offering called SAP Identity & Authentication Services - which does implement SAML 2.0 and supports LDAP data sources:
