Logging Into CMC Using Single Sign-on
When Single Sign-On (SSO) is enabled, you can log in to CMC without entering your domain user authentication
credentials, such as user name and password.
NOTE: You cannot use the IP address to log into the Single Sign-On. Kerberos validates your credentials against
the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
Before logging in to CMC using Single Sign-on, make sure that:
• You have logged into your system using a valid Active Directory user account.
• Single Sign-On option is enabled during Active Directory configuration.
To log in to CMC using Single Sign-on:
1. Log into the client system using your network account.
2. Access the CMC Web interface using: https://<cmcname.domain-name>
For example, cmc-6G2WXF1.cmcad.lab, where cmc-6G2WXF1 is the cmc-name and cmcad.lab is the domain-name.
NOTE: If you have changed the default HTTPS port number (port 80), access the CMC Web interface using
<cmcname.domain-name>:<port number>, where the cmcname is the CMC host name for CMC,
domain-name is the domain name, and port number is the HTTPS port number.
CMC logs you in, using the Kerberos credentials that were cached by your browser when you logged in using your
valid Active Directory account. If the login fails, the browser is redirected to the normal CMC login page.
NOTE: If you did not log in to the Active Directory domain and are using a browser other then Internet
Explorer, the login fails and the browser only displays a blank page.
