How to Set the Enterprise Single Sign-On Server

For the most recent version of Microsoft Host Integration Server documentation, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/gg241192.aspx.

Every time that you use the command line management utility, ssomanage, you must first point the user to the Single Sign-On (SSO) server that you want to connect to.

You can do this in one of two ways:

  • Individual users can point themselves to the correct Single Sign-On server.

  • A local computer administrator for the Single Sign-On server can point all the members of the Single Sign-On Users account to this server.

To set the Enterprise Single Sign-On server using the MMC Snap-In

  1. Click Start , point to Programs , point to Microsoft Enterprise Single Sign-On , and then click SSO Administration .

  2. In the MMC Snap-In under the Console Root , right-click Enterprise Single Sign-On , and then click Select .

  3. Browse to the desired server.

  4. If appropriate, select the Set SSO Server for all users check box.

  5. Click OK .
