Authentication with Single Sign-On 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. |
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. |
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.
MashZone NextGen provides the integration under My webMethods in a SSO scenario by SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language).
