Configuring single sign-on for Active Directory servers

You must enable single sign-on for an Active Directory (AD) server before you can allow users to use it.

1. Click Server Options.

The Server Options dialog box opens.

2. Select Active Directory/LDAP from the Authentication category.

3. Select the AD server to enable single sign-on for and click Edit.

If you need to add a new server connection, click Add Active Directory. See Adding Active Directory servers.

The Edit Active Directory Server dialog box opens.

4. Select a Single Sign-On option.

  • Disabled disables single sign-on for all LDAP users associated with the AD server. Users must manually log in to Helix ALM products.
  • Enabled enables single sign-on for all LDAP users associated with the AD server.
  • Required enables single sign-on for all LDAP users associated with the AD server and restrict them from logging in using a username and password. Single sign-on is automatically enabled for all users associated with the AD server.
If single sign-on is required, all users associated with the AD server must use the Helix ALM product versions and clients that support single sign-on. If the AD server is not available, users cannot access Helix ALM products.

5. Click OK to save the changes.

If you enabled single sign-on, you must also enable it for users. See Enabling single sign-on for users.
