Authentication with Single Sign-On Solutions

Presto Administration : Presto Security : Authentication with Single Sign-On Solutions

Configuration for Agent-Based SSO Solutions

With a single sign-on (SSO) solution, Presto delegates authentication to the SSO layer. Presto has the following pre-configured options to integrate with SSO solutions:

SharePoint and the Presto Add-On for SharePoint.

Important:

Single sign-on authentication with SharePoint and Presto Add-On for SharePoint is enabled by default in Presto. No additional configuration is needed in Presto to integrate this token-based SSO solution.

See Configuring Presto Add-On for SharePoint 2010 or Configuring Presto Add-On for SharePoint 2007 for information on single sign-on configuration needed in SharePoint.

Agent-based SSO solutions, such as Netegrity SiteMinder. See Configuration for Agent-Based SSO Solutions for instructions.

Note:

The Presto Add-On for SharePoint is not fully compatible with agent-based SSO solutions. Functionality in Presto Hub is available with an agent-based SSO solution. However, known issues limit the functionality available in SharePoint in this case. See Authentication Designs for P4S 2010 for more information.

The Central Authentication Service (CAS) using the CAS2 protocol. CAS is a ticket-based SSO solution. It also supports authentication proxies with CAS2, which enables Presto to use CAS for SSO and also work with the CAS Security Profile for mashable information sources.

See Configuration for the CAS SSO Solution for instructions.
