Authentication with Single Sign-On Solutions

MashZone NextGen Administration : MashZone NextGen Security : Authentication with Single Sign-On Solutions

Configuration for Agent-Based SSO Solutions

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

SharePoint and the MashZone NextGen Add-On for SharePoint.

Important:

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

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

Note:

The MashZone NextGen Add-On for SharePoint is not fully compatible with agent-based SSO solutions. Functionality in MashZone NextGen 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 MashZone NextGen 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.
