SSO Configuration Overview

Setting up single sign-on (SSO) for an application involves configuration tasks at the User Console and CSP console.

Prerequisites:

• CSP console is deployed.
• The tenant environment is deployed.
• The User Console is deployed.
• Third-party application is configured for SSO.

As a tenant administrator, your configuration tasks are performed at the User Console. The intent of the following diagram is to show tasks for the hosting and tenant administrators. All these tasks are necessary to complete single sign-on configuration.

At the CSP console:

1. Create an authentication scheme.
2. Protect the authentication resource with the authentication scheme.
3. Create a federated partnership.

At the User console:

4. Create authentication methods for the tenant.

5. Create an SSO application.

These configuration tasks are described in the scenario How to Set up Single Sign-on for an Application.
