Authentication Strategies
SiteScope authentication is based on a concept of authentication strategies. Each strategy handles authentication against a specific authentication service. Only one authentication service can be configured with SiteScope at any given time.
The default authentication strategy for logging on to SiteScope is the SiteScope internal authentication service. In addition, SiteScope supports the following Single Sign-On methods: Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Authentication Strategies Overview
The SiteScope internal authentication service is the default authentication strategy for logging on to SiteScope. You enter your SiteScope user name and password from the login page, and your credentials are stored and verified by SiteScope.
SiteScope also supports Single Sign-On (SSO), a method of access control that enables a user to log on once and gain access to the resources of multiple software systems without being prompted to log on again. The applications inside the configured group of software systems trust the authentication, and there is no need for further authentication when moving from one application to another.
SiteScope supports the following SSO authentication strategies:
• Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO).
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
