By linking with an identity provider, you can authenticate a user who logs in to the Hitachi Ops Center Portal on the identity provider side. If the identity provider successfully authenticates the user, the user is imported as a local user of Common Services.
Common Services supports linking with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). To link with AD FS, configure the settings on both the AD FS server and the Hitachi Ops Center Portal. For details, see Configuring a link to an identity provider.
- You cannot link one Active Directory server to both a directory service and AD FS.

Identity provider user accounts must have a unique username and email address. If an identity provider user account conflicts with a local user ID or email address, the identity provider user cannot log in. You must remove the local user from the Hitachi Ops Center Portal or change their email address before proceeding.
