Enabling Single Sign-on

Note: Enabling the SSO feature requires administrator privileges.

To enable the Single Sign-on (SSO) feature:

  1. Open the system configuration editor to verify that the key: WED.EnableSingleSignOn = True.
  2. True is the default value and means that SSO feature is enabled.

  3. Prepare a script (or another method) that collects the UserName/Password and calls SmarTeam using this URL

    LoginName = User login name
    Password = User password
  4. When an authorized user selects the URL it establishes a connection to the application.
