I have a customer who wants to know following.

In our Apps 9 environment, we use a mix of AD authenticated users and DB authenticated users. The AD authenticated users are essentially named users, while the DB authenticated users are manufacturing "workcenter" users.

With Apps 10, we plan to use ADFS authentication (that's what we have implemented in our test environment.) Our question is whether or not we will be able to continue with the DB authenticated accounts for the "workcenter" users. Is it possible to do "mixed" authentication with some users going through ADFS and some users going through DB authentication? If so, how would we go about enabling it?

Yes, you can do this Chandana, at least for the IEE interface.  All the config details are defined in the technical documentation.

Similar to Apps9 you’d need to set up the AD authentication model per the documentation, and then at the user level you just change a user’s Directory ID to be the AD name (e.g. USER@DOMAIN.COM) instead of the Database account (e.g. USER).  

Users with AD access using the normal IFS Enterprise Explorer link but the DB accounts will need to access using the IFS Enterprise Explorer - Admin link, which is how you would e.g. log in with IFSAPP.
