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-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

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 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.

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.
