Before you Begin

To enable SSO, you need the following:
  • Address Manager v9.2.0 or greater
  • Open port 443 in Address Manager and the IdP
  • Address Manager can access the IdP either on premises or cloud
    Important: Enabling SSO in Address Manager impacts users, user groups, external auhenticators, and API access. BlueCat strongly recommends using a Test Environment with mock users, user groups, and external authenticators to test and validate SSO behaviour. In addition, you should also perform a database backup before enabling SSO.
