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.

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 signs on once with the Key Distribution Center (KDC). Authentification for other services takes place automatically without user interaction. Kerberos is used as a part of the Microsoft Active Directory services.
KerberosYou 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.
