Configuring Secure Token Single Sign-On

The FlexNet Operations End-User Portal can be configured to interface with a separate application, such as a corporate portal or intranet. The single sign-on (SSO) application passes user credentials to the FlexNet Operations End-User Portal, enabling a user to have a single set of credentials for both. The user signs on to the SSO application, and gains access to both the SSO application and FlexNet Operations End-User Portal for the duration of the browser session. This section describes how to configure single sign-on applications.

The secure token single sign-on process includes the following steps:
