Bit of a vague question but I am messing around on some test servers and thought it would be cool to see if AWX can authenticate via AD & ADFS using SAML. Quite honestly I am still learning SAML (and things like ADFS), so any experience/comments welcome with regards to getting this working (if possible). I have done some searching for this specific topic but have come up short. The Red Hat Ansible Tower SAML documentation seems good however i suspect a lot of the terminology is focused more around Red Hat products (SSO/Keycloak etc…) which is throwing me off. Thanks ---

So after much trial and error I got this working (well at least basic authentication) with ADFS and SAML. ---
