What is IAM for GitHub?
Administrators who configure a GitHub Enterprise Server instance can use local accounts and built-in authentication on the instance. Alternatively, to centralize identity and access for an enterprise's web applications, administrators can configure an external authentication method. If you use SAML, you can optionally provision user accounts on the instance from your identity provider (IdP) using System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM).
Which authentication method are available to me?
The following authentication methods are available for GitHub Enterprise Server.
Built-in authentication
При использовании встроенной проверки подлинности для ваш экземпляр GitHub Enterprise Serverкаждый пользователь создает личная учетная запись из приглашения или путем регистрации. To access your instance, people authenticate with the credentials for the account. For more information, see Настройка встроенной проверки подлинности.
External authentication
If you use an external directory or identity provider (IdP) to centralize access to multiple web applications, you may be able to configure external authentication for ваш экземпляр GitHub Enterprise Server. For more information, see the following articles.
- Использование CAS для корпоративной системы IAM
- Использование LDAP для корпоративной системы IAM
- Использование SAML для корпоративного IAM
Примечание.
Можно использовать SAML или LDAP, но не оба.
If you choose to use external authentication, you can also configure fallback authentication for people who don't have an account on your external authentication provider. For example, you may want to grant access to a contractor or machine user. For more information, see Разрешение встроенной проверки подлинности для пользователей за пределами поставщика.
How does provisioning work?
If you configure built-in authentication, CAS, LDAP, or SAML, GitHub Enterprise Server creates a user account when an authorized person signs into the instance, or "just in time" (JIT). Optionally, if you use SAML, you can provision user accounts from your identity provider (IdP) using SCIM. For more information, see Сведения о подготовке пользователей с помощью SCIM на GitHub Enterprise Server.
