About single sign on (SSO)

About single sign on (SSO)

Using external LDAP or Active Directory servers for single sign on

Single sign on enables users who are logged on to the domain, or authenticated through a third-party, to access the KACE SMA Administrator Console and User Console without having to re-enter their credentials on the KACE SMA login page.

You can use Active Directory for single sign on.

Single sign on is available for:

•
One domain only: If you have multiple domains, only one can be enabled for single sign on. This is true even if the Organization component is enabled on the KACE SMA, and you have multiple organizations that are on different domains. Single sign on is a System-level configuration, and organizations cannot be configured independently for single sign on.
•
Microsoft Active Directory servers: You can enable single sign on using Microsoft Active Directory servers with 2003 R2 or higher schema versions. Earlier schema versions cannot be used. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, the Active Directory single sign on method can be used with multiple organizations.

Using external LDAP or Active Directory servers for single sign on

Using external LDAP or Active Directory servers for single sign on

When using Active Directory for authentication for single sign on, the external LDAP or Active Directory server must have the same entries as the Active Directory server specified for single sign on. The KACE SMA matches user credentials on the joined domain, and then it uses the external LDAP configuration to determine user roles and privileges.

To authenticate users by using local accounts on the KACE SMA, you need to either import accounts from an LDAP or Active Directory server to the appliance, or manually create accounts on the appliance. See:

•
Importing users from an LDAP server
•
Managing System-level user accounts
•
Managing organization user accounts

Enable single sign on

To enable single sign on, you need to configure the appliance Security Settings to establish a connection between an Active Directory server and the appliance.
