Starting release 3.2.0, IBM Cloud Private users can now login using a valid IBMid. In terms of work-flow, its identical to SAML SSO, except the users are redirected to IBMid Authentication page, upon successful authentication they are dropped back into the IBM Cloud Private console.
IBMid SSO uses OAuth protocol to generate a valid authentication token.
Either IBMid or SAML can be enabled for SSO but not both. Steps to enable IBMid can be found in Configuring IBMid sign-on.
