If you want your AI agents to use OAuth authentication to access an Informatica MCP server, you can either register a client directly with Informatica’s internal authorization server or use a federated identity provider like Azure AD or Okta.
Use either of the following OAuth authentication methods based on how your organization is configured:
Create and register an OAuth client.
When you use this method, the registration process generates a client ID and a client secret. The Informatica OAuth server generates an authentication token for the AI agent based on these credentials. The authentication token is then passed to the MCP server, allowing your AI agent to access the MCP server. You can use this method in any organization.
Use federated OAuth.
This method delegates the identity check to an external identity provider (IdP) like Okta or Azure AD. Your AI agents can access the MCP server using a JWT access token that your IdP generates. You can use this method when your organization uses SAML single sign-on.
