SSO Authentication for Users

Single Sign-On (SSO) allows the user to log into multiple servers within an SSO zone by using a shared certificate among the subject servers within the zone. Once a user is authenticated successfully with any system in the SSO domain, the user can access other systems in the SSO zone without re-entering the authentication credentials.

When two zones in the SSO domain exchange certificates, a trusted relationship is established between the zones and all the systems grouped into the zone, expanding the authenticated login capability to servers in both zones. For more information on how to configure SSO zones, see the Certificate Management section in the Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Guide.
