Single Sign on

I am currently looking at integrating TS 6.5 on Win2k3 to do user authentication using AD. My question is, does doing this eliminate the need to signon in Content Centre? Does this become a single sign on, eliminating this need? Does anyone have experience with this?

The integration with AD eliminates the need of having local users, etc. It does not provide single sign-on.
You are looking for single sign on of TS with windows login ? some other application ?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I was looking at the Single sign on to Teamsite when the user logs into Windows. Sadly, this appears not to be the case at this point. Can you tell I am a fan of single sing on?

You might want to check with support to get an official answer and perhaps file a feature request.

Well, the support site and devnet seems to have single sign-on. You can enjoy that in the mean time.

well, it's not exactly single signon; it's more a cross-login capability, but sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Hi,

TS 6.5 on Win2k3 with user authentication using AD is exactly our setup. It's not SSO, but we're more than happy with it - users stay logged in if they just close their browser (but can explicitly sign out), so conceivably users could only need to enter their password once, unless the p/w is changed. I personally like the flexibility that this set-up offers, in that it allows a user to swap the role they log in as (if they have more than one), and/or choose which domain they want to authenticate against, if you happen to have more than one domain controller (we do - don't ask).

It also allows users to log in from any machine with an internet connection (if TS is exposed through the firewall), not just their corporate workstation.

SSO would be cool, just as long as none of the current flexibility is lost.

TeamSite does have support for Single Sign-On using Netegrity Site Minder. The Admin Guide should have more information on how this is configured.

Thanks for the opinion on the integrated AD role. I'll be looking into it.

Any new progress on Single Sign on capabilities?

I have created a single signon for our environment - sorta.

I have created a portal block that will call a portal routine to determine who the person is and using CSSDK create a TeamSight session for that user. I retrieve the session ID (which is the AUTH cookie) and build the cookie automatically for the user. So once a user signs on to the portal, they (if authorized) are automatically signed on to TeamSite.
