Solution Summary

This guide describes CyberArk Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) integration with RSA ID Plus. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.
    

Use Case

CyberArk PVWA can be integrated with RSA using RADIUS, SAML My Page SSO, and SAML Relying Party. When integrated, CyberArk PVWA users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to CyberArk PVWA.
       

Integration Types 

RADIUS integrations provide a text-driven interface for RSA within the partner application. RADIUS provides support for most RSA authentication methods and flows.

My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to CyberArk PVWA users leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. Both SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO are supported.
Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR. 

Existing SSO integrations using IDR My Applications continue to be supported and will be listed in this document as applicable.
Note: RSA will continue to maintain existing SAML SSO integrations using IDR My Applications. At a to-be-determined future date, RSA will announce the end-of-life (EOL) date for the SAML SSO support with the IDR. For more information Available Now: My Page SSO Enhancements.

Relying Party integration allows CyberArk PVWA users’ web browsers to be automatically redirected to Cloud Access Service (CAS) for authentication. With Relying Party integration, CAS can manage either additional authentication only or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication depending on the service provider's capability.

Internal Applications and/or Identity Management System: When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA ID Plus to create sessions to internal applications and/or identity management systems using adapters. 

  
Bridge between RSA SAML IdP and Partner Service Providers: When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA ID Plus to create sessions to partner Service Providers using authentication policy contracts.

Configuration Summary

This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate CyberArk PVWA with RSA for cloud administrators 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 CyberArk PVWA components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
All the supported use cases of RSA with CyberArk PVWA require both server-side and client-side configuration changes. This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
