AWS IAM - RSA Ready Implementation Guide
Solution Summary
This guide describes AWS IAM integration with RSA ID Plus using SAML 2.0. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.Use Case
AWS IAM can be integrated with RSA using My Page SSO. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to AWS IAM.Integration Types
My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to AWS IAM users leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. IdP-initiated SSO is supported.Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR.
Supported Features
This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with AWS IAM using each integration type.AWS IAM Integration with RSA Cloud Authentication Service

Configuration Summary
This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate AWS IAM with RSA using all of the integration types.This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.
All RSA and AWS IAM components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
