Create SSO Applications for P4S
If you are using SSO + Token authentication and you have the MOSS SSO service configured and running in Windows and SharePoint, you can create SSO Applications to use in the connections between SharePoint and Business Analytics Servers.
SSO Applications store user credentials for one Business Analytics Server or several Business Analytics Servers. Credentials for external Business Analytics Servers are associated with an Application Name that Business Analytics Servers use to retrieve credentials and authenticate users.
1. Open SharePoint Central Administration as a farm administrator.
2. Click Operations.
3. In the Security Configuration section, click Manage settings for single sign-on.
4. On the Manage Settings for Single Sign-On page, click Manage settings for enterprise application definitions.
5. Click New Item and set the following properties:
Display Name: the name of the SSO application to show users.
Application Name: the SSO application ID.
User credentials stored with this SSO application ID are used by all Business Analytics Server connections that are configured with this SSO Application.
Contact e-mail address: an email address for the administrator who should manage SSO applications.
Account type: the type of account that supplies credentials. Typically this is set to
Individual indicating that each user has their own credentials.
Authentication type: make sure the
Windows authentication option is clear.
For Logon Account Information, clear all fields except
Username and
Password.
Click
OK.
