The single sign-on feature in Micetro allows users to sign in to the Web Application using their Active Directory (AD) credentials.

Note: This article assumes that both an Active Directory group has already been added to Micetro AND Kerberos/NTLM has been added to the preferences.cfg file for Micetro Web Services.

To configure single sign-on

  1. Make sure the user is a member of the Active Directory (AD) group already added to Micetro.
  2. Log into the workstation as the user.
  3. Open Internet Options on the Micetro machine that runs the Web Application, e.g., through the Settings dialog, search for Internet Options, or right-click on the Windows Desktop Start button and select Run.
  4. Enter inetcpl.cpl and then select OK to open the Internet Properties dialog.
  5. On the Security tab, select Trusted sites and then select Sites.

  6. In the Trusted sites dialog, enter the URL of the Micetro Web Application, e.g., https://webapp.example.com, into the Add this website to the zone field and then select Add.
    Note: If the Web Application is not running on HTTPS, it's necessary to clear the Require server verification for all sites in this zone checkbox.
