Enable Trusted Authentication

Note: Trusted Authentication is supported for InfoView only; it is unavailable for the CMC.

Users prefer to log in to the system once, without needing to provide passwords several times during a session. Trusted Authentication provides a single sign-on solution for integrating your BusinessObjects Enterprise authentication solution with third-party authentication solutions. Applications that have established trust with the CMS can use Trusted Authentication to allow users to log in without providing their passwords.

To enable Trusted Authentication, you must configure both the server and the client.

Notes:

• See the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator’s Guide to learn more about configuring the different types of third-party authentication (such as NT, LDAP, and so on), as well as security concepts.
• See your CA Technologies product documentation for more information about the supported integrations.
