Hi Maya,

Hi Maya,
We have reviewed your enhancement suggestion.
Based on the information provided, our understanding of your request is as follows:
* Provide support for updating the SAML implementation to include calls to IdentityOnlyAuthenticator which in turn updates security cache and newly added users authenticated
The theme is aligned with our current multi-year strategy for our product, and we have accepted your suggestion as a consideration for a future release. Not all items under consideration will make it into a release. As plans are confirmed, you will be notified when a specific release includes this enhancement.

hi Graham - please take a look at support case 8286 which has more detail as this was raised as a support case. Some the relevant information is as follows -
This looks like an OOTB gap in the SAML flow. Below is the documentation that says security cache publish is not required when a new user is added. This is because it gets updated at the time of user login through ‘IdentityOnlyAuthenticator’ and ‘RDBMSAuthenticator’. However it looks like the SAML flow is not calling ‘IdentityOnlyAuthenticator’. So therefore the user cache is not getting updated as ‘IdentityOnlyAuthenticator’ is not getting called in SAML flow.
Documentation......
Optimizing authorization by using the security cache
The security cache is an in-memory structure that holds the security information associated with user
roles. Security information is held in this cache to optimize the performance of the authorization process.
The cache is refreshed when the application reboots; it can also be refreshed when a system
administrator uses the cache refresh facility. The cache must be refreshed whenever any changes have
been made to the user roles. This includes changes to security identifiers, security groups, and security
roles. However, the addition of a new user, if there are no other associated security changes (e.g. to roles
or groups), does not require a security cache refresh.
Hey! I cannot open the support ticket link.
