Single sign-on

SSO is a technology whereby a user logs on to the operating system once, then reuses the authentication data to skip entering their user name and password to other programs.

Single sign-onSingle sign-onSSO

Due to security issues, single sign-on is not available to system administrators.

If single sign-on is not possible, the logon dialog box appears and you can log on with your user ID.

Requirements

The following requirements must be met before you can use single sign-on:

  • The ELO Java Client must be installed
  • A Windows user must be set up
  • Assign administrator rights to Windows users

Choose from the following options to set up single sign-on:

  • Registry entry in Windows
  • SSO with Kerberos
  • SSO with Web Start

Registry entry in Windows

1. Open the Registry Editor.

Registry Editor

2. Open the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\ELO Digital Office\eloenterprise

3. Set up a new issinglesignon entry with the value true.

4. Restart your computer.

SSO with Kerberos

Kerberos is an encryption procedure that has been established as the default protocol for single sign-on in Windows networks. With this method, the user first signs on once with the Key Distribution Center (KDC). The further authentification for other services takes place automatically without user interaction. Kerberos is used as a part of the Microsoft Active Directory services.

Kerberos

You need to configure the Access Manager and the ELO Java Client to set up single sign-on with Kerberos. Please refer to the documentation for more information.

SSO with Web Start

When using the Web Start, all files are managed centrally on a web server. The JNLP file must be edited to set up single sign-on for the Web Start. The JNLP file contains information such as the filing location of JAR files or additional parameters for the program you want to call.

You need to enter the following keys:

  • elo.archive.default.name
  • elo.archive.default.path
  • elo.user.name
  • elo.user.password

There is only one user name and one password for all clients.
