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:

Secure Token Single Sign-On Process Steps

#	Step	Description
1	SSO application requests secure token	The SSO application requests a secure token from the FlexNet Operations server. The FlexNet Operations server sends the secure token back to the SSO application.
2	SSO application receives secure token and constructs URL	The SSO application receives the secure token and constructs a URL, which includes parameters that control the display and behavior of the End-User Portal.
3	SSO application sends URL to FlexNet Operations server	The SSO application sends the URL and the secure token to the FlexNet Operations server.
4	Upon login, credentials are passed to server and user is authenticated	When the user logs into the SSO application, credentials are passed to the FlexNet Operations server, and the user is authenticated. The FlexNet Operations server displays the End-User Portal landing page.
