Using SAML authentication to log in to NetScaler Gateway
You can use SAML authentication to log in to NetScaler Gateway using the VPN clients and the Workspace app. The plug-in supports SAML authentication only through advanced SAML policies bound to the authentication virtual server, that is nFactor authentication.
Important:
The plug-in does not support SAML authentication when SAML policies are bound directly to the VPN virtual server, that is non-nFactor authentication.
