SSO Configuration

After completing the above configuration steps, regardless whether the SSO is assigned to a Role, Domain, or User, please keep the following SSO attributes in mind:

SSO attributes

Name	Default Value	Description
username		user name used to log on to the application
password		password used to log on to the application
language		the language used to display the application. This should be left blank to use the default language set for the user in the application. To override, enter a valid application supported language, example: en_US, de_DE
mandant_id		mandant_id, group_accesstype, and group_access should be set together to determine what the user's view should be. Leave these values blank to have the application prompt the user for one. In the case where the user has only access to one view, there will be no prompt. Setting these values will load the entered view without any prompt. The possible values can be observed with a network sniffing tool between a browser and the application. Example: 1001, 1002
group_accesstype	G	mandant_id, group_accesstype, and group_access should be set together to determine what the user's view should be. Leave these values blank to have the application prompt the user for one. In the case where the user has only access to one view, there will be no prompt. Setting these values will load the entered view without any prompt. The possible values can be observed with a network sniffing tool between a browser and the application. Example G, U
group_access		mandant_id, group_accesstype, and group_access should be set together to determine what user's view should be. Leave these values blank to have the application prompt the user for one. In the case where the user has only access to one view, there will be no prompt. Setting these values will load the entered view without any prompt. The possible values can be observed with a network sniffing tool between a browser and the application. Example VFXYMCHWZLHXCS, ZZCNJRPPEBSPDO

Known Issues

The following known issues are associated with this PIM:

• Because FNT Command manages state in flash server, multiple FNT Command channels cannot be added in the same view.

License Usage

In order for the AppBoard/enPortal administrator to configure the {{#var:pim_name}} PIM, the AppBoard/enPortal license.properties file must include licensing for at least one {{#var:pim_name}} server. The administrator can create one additional host ("target") in AppBoard/enPortal for each server license included in the license file.

Each AppBoard/enPortal user maintains one user session with the {{#var:pim_title}} server. The {{#var:pim_title}} application must be licensed to support the number of users that will be accessing the application through AppBoard/enPortal.
