Manta Alation Export - SAML Authentication Support

Current version of Manta does not support SAML authentication for Alation export connection. Currently, we are using a work around in place by using a local account for Alation export authentication.  According to our company security policy,  this local account is only allowed with a temporary exemption. SAML authentication is what is used in the environment.

    Thanks Jakub. The solution of the refresh token is good.

    Hi Tim,

    adding a support for SAML is problematic, because the solution is different for SaaS/on-premise Alation. We consider adressing this need by making a refresh token editable in Admin UI - you could create a refresh token under the SAML user, and provide it in Manta. The validity of the refresh token is 60 days. Would this solution work for you?

    Best regards,
