(12.3-en) Single Sign-On

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that can be used via a cloud-based identity provider (IdP) to access the local device and apps. This article describes the options used for configuring SSO in IGEL OS.

For a detailed description of the entire SSO configuration process, see Configuring Single Sign-On (SSO).

To have a fallback option if something goes wrong with SSO, e.g. a network failure, it is recommended to configure local login in addition under Security > Logon > Local User. For more information, see (12.3-en) Local User.
