Authentication with Single Sign-On Solutions

Appendix : Administration : Business Analytics Security : Authentication with Single Sign-On Solutions

Configuration for Agent-Based SSO Solutions

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

SharePoint and the Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint.

Important:

Single sign-on authentication with SharePoint and Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint is enabled by default in Business Analytics. No additional configuration is needed in Business Analytics 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 Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint is not fully compatible with agent-based SSO solutions. Functionality in Business Analytics Hub is available with an agent-based SSO solution. However, known issues limit the functionality available in SharePoint in this case.

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 Business Analytics 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.

Business Analytics provides the integration under My webMethods in a SSO scenario by SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language).

See SSO integration in My webMethods for details.
