Single Sign-On (SSO)

Single sign-on (SSO) is a mechanism in which a single action of user authentication and authorization permits a user to access all systems to which he/she has access permission, without the need to enter multiple passwords.

Once a user logs on to the portal using SSO, CA Business Service Insight users can directly access CA Business Service Insight through the portal.
