How to Use the Servers Snap-in

This version of Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) includes the ENTSSO Servers Snap-In, which allows you to view, monitor, and perform certain actions on your ENTSSO Server through the Windows interface.

Note

If your system has a firewall and your server name uses the FQDN format, you may not be able to contact the server. Instead, you must specify the NetBIOS name or the associated IP address.
