Question

Federated IDs and Adobe Digital Editions

Greetings!

 

We are an educational customer who is using Federated ID with Google as our IdP.

 

I have a faculty member who is attempting to use Adobe Digital Editions 4.5.11 to view a DRM-protected document.

 

When attempting to authorize their computer system, they are only given the option for "Adobe ID"...and there is no option to sign in with Google or make use of other federation ID features.

 

A chat with an Adobe tech revealed that the use of Federated ID is not supported with ADE.

 

I'm looking at the possibility of setting up the user with an Adobe ID that is tied to an "alias" of their federated email address (to hopefully allow them to get access to this file via an account we control).

 

Have any Forum members come up with other solutions for ADE that work to resolve these "edge" cases?

 

Thanks in advance,

    Hello, 

    I understand this is an old post, but I am having a similar issue. Was there ever any update on this? Can users not use a Federated ID to authorize a computer with ADE?

     

    Thank you
