Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access license
The Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) provides both user identification and user authentication for mobile users in a Prisma Access—Explicit Proxy deployment. The Cloud Identity Engine integrates with the Explicit Proxy Authentication Cache Service (ACS) and uses SAML identity providers (IdPs) to provide authentication for Explicit Proxy mobile users.
Configure an authentication profile to authenticate users with the Cloud Identity Engine.
The SAML/CIE authentication method is displayed only if the Cloud Authentication Service (CAS) is enabled. If the CIE authentication or CAS is not supported on your Prisma Access tenant, then it shows only the SAML authentication method.
Before you begin:
  1. Go to ManageConfigurationIdentity ServicesAuthentication, set the configuration scope to Explicit Proxy and Add Profile under Authentication Profiles.
  2. Select the Authentication Method: Cloud Identity Engine.
  3. Enter a unique Profile Name.
  4. Select the Cloud Identity Engine authentication Profile you configured in the Cloud Identity Engine.
  5. Save your changes.
