VMware Workspace ONE Access
VMware Workspace ONE Access (now Broadcom / Omnissa Access) is an enterprise identity and access-management solution providing SSO, MFA, and device-context enforcement across hybrid environments. It acts as a standards-based IdP and policy broker for apps integrated through SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect 1.0, and ties closely to Workspace ONE UEM for device posture and lifecycle management.
Key Capabilities
-
Standards-based federation (IdP & broker): Natively supports SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0. Administrators can configure external identity providers and allow Access to act either as the primary IdP or as a federation broker that relays assertions/tokens between IdPs and apps.
-
OAuth 2.0 / OIDC administration: Admin documentation covers creation of service clients and user access-token clients, used with Workspace ONE UEM and connected SaaS/on-prem apps.
-
SCIM provisioning (inbound): Official integration guides show SCIM 2.0 user and group provisioning from Okta into Access using the Workspace ONE app listed in the Okta Integration Network.
Limitations
-
FIDO2 availability: Documented only for SaaS tenants; confirm parity for on-prem implementations.
-
SCIM directionality: Public references show inbound SCIM into Access; no confirmation that Access can act as a general-purpose outbound SCIM 2.0 provisioner.
-
Advanced OAuth profiles: Available materials focus on core OAuth 2.0/OIDC; PAR, DPoP, or mTLS-bound tokens/FAPI are not publicly verified.
