Single sign-on capabilities allow the user to access all the system assets for which they have access permissions with a single user name and password provided during the session initialization. If an SWP is configured for user authentication, it invokes an authenticator—a Java class API—that contacts the ACDB to retrieve user credentials that are stored in a proxy authentication Information record.
For each application to which you want to grant the user single sign-on access, you must create a proxy authentication information record. See Chapter 9, “Proxy Authentication.”
Enterprise Security provides three preconfigured authenticators. Using these authenticators requires Java, HTML, and HTTP programming knowledge. For more information on the authenticators, see the Javadoc HTML files, which are located in the docs/html subdirectory of your Enterprise Security installation.
