What would be the implications of multiple Identity Providers

[Filip Vidakovic]

Im creating a servicenow instance that has multiple IdPs set up. One is uses SAML and the other is a Diggest Token. Im interested in knowing what are some of the risks if i would set the SAML one as auto redirect IdP.

Thanks everyone

Hey @Filip Vidakovic 

I would not recommend setting this. Checking the box for "auto-redirect IdP" forces ALL users who navigate to a resource that requires authentication will be pushed to that IdP to authenticate. Since you have multiple IdP's, you'd be making it impossible for folks to authenticate into the instance with the other IdPs.

If you would like folks to automatically direct to use a specific IdP, this answered question talks about how to achieve that: https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-forum/auto-redirecting-to-multiple-idp-s/m-p/1884283

Hope this helps!
