SSO Authentication
This authentication profile uses credentials or other authentication provided by a single sign-on (SSO) solution used by your organization.
Note: This security profile is appropriate with agent-based SSO solutions, such as Netegrity SiteMinder. See the CAS2 security profile when SSO is handled by CAS.
With this profile, the SSO solution authenticates users and adds a authentication token in a well-known, HTTP header, that the user’s browser includes in requests to MashZone NextGen, services or other applications. MashZone NextGen uses this token to verify authentication with the SSO solution when users work in MashZone NextGen Hub or the AppDepot. MashZone NextGen also forwards this HTTP header to mashable information sources with this security profile when they are invoked.
Enter the name of the HTTP header that contains user authentication tokens for your SSO solution in the Ssotoken field. The Ssotokensource field is not currently used.
