Support for Single Sign-On
Starting with VIOM 8.0, the Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality is provided for VIOM users. SSO is based on SAML protocol Shibboleth, and ADFS Identity Provider (IDP). SSO enables users to log in only once and those same credentials are reused to log into other applications automatically.
For more information on how to enable SSO, see the Veritas InfoScale™ Operations Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.
