Configure the SSO Service in Windows
This task is required only if you are using the SSO Service in P4S authentication and the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) Single Sign-on (SSO) Service is not already running in your environment. MOSS SSO must be fully configured in Windows and SharePoint, before you can begin configuration for SSO for P4S.
Note: | For a complete discussion of MOSS SSO configuration, see Microsoft TechNet documentation at: |
To configure the Windows service for MOSS SSO
1. From Administrative Tools, click Services
2. Double-click Microsoft Single Sign-On Service.
3. In the Log On tab of the Single Sign-on Service Properties page, click This account.
4. Enter the domain, user name and password for the account that you used to install SharePoint and that you use to manage your SharePoint server. Click Apply.
Note: | This account should be the same account used for the SharePoint application pool associated with the SharePoint sites that will be using the Single Sign-on Service. The account must have the dbcreator and securityadmin SQL Server roles on the SQL Server that will be used to host the SSO database. |
5. In the General tab, change the startup type to Automatic.
6. Click Start and click OK to start this service.
Once you have configured MOSS SSO in Windows, see

SharePoint for the remaining configuration requirements.
