Enabling or Disabling Single Sign On

Use the Single Sign On (SSO) feature to automatically log on to the CommServe using user credentials from the Active Directory (AD) service provider.

Procedure

  1. From the CommCell Browser, go to Security > Domains.

  2. Right click the domain and click Properties.

    The Edit Domain Controller Details dialog box is displayed.

  3. On the General tab, do one of the following:
