Configuring IIS for Single Sign-On

Use the following steps to configure IIS for single sign-on. If you do not perform these steps, the login page will likely be blank when you launch the Portal Server.

TTo configure IIS for single sign-on:

1.Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Computer Management.

2.Expand Services and Applications and expand Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

3.Expand Web Sites and then right-click on Default Web Site and select Properties.

4.Go to Directory Security > Authentication and access control and make sure that Integrated Windows authentication is checked on the following window.

Using Single Sign-On

TTo use single-sign-on (and avoid username/password prompts), you must do one of the following:

Access the Portal Server by the alphabetical name (for example http://yourserver).

Access the Portal Server by the IP address in which case you must also add the Portal

Server to the Local Intranet Zone (Internet Options > Security > Sites). This setting can

be pushed company-wide by an administrator using security policies.

5.Change Internet Explorer's default settings to allow Automatic logon with current

username and password (Go to Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > User Authentication).
