I'm starting to configure Hyland IdP to work with our University's SAML2 for OnBase.
I find p33 of the Idp MRG a bit confusing. It has a chart showing Type Value 3 for SAML2 but then says
"The provider type 1 can only be used in OnBase environments" but does not explain anywhere what type 1 is.
If I want to authenticate users for OnBase using Hyland IdP against the University's SAML2 should I be using type1 or type 3?
Thanks.

Hi
Typically, the Provider is not referenced by # (i.e. Type Value), but instead by the Provider Type. The Identity and Access Management Services documentation references the following table ...
For Providers, Provider Type 1 is Normal / OnBase / Local Login which means the OnBase database via the API Server. This is also known as using an OnBase User Name and Password.
If you are looking to federate authentication of your users through a Provider configured for SAML, then you would select the Provider Type of SAML2. Further, you can disable the ability to login with the user's OnBase username and password by disabling/unchecking the "Allow users to log in locally" option on the respective Clients to prevent users from using the feature.
Take care.
