Single Sign-On is the authentication scheme for CA Performance Center and all supported data sources. Once they are authenticated to CA Performance Center, users can navigate among the console and registered data sources without signing in a second time.
By enabling navigation among separate product interfaces, Single Sign-On helps ensure a seamless drilldown experience for operators who are analyzing performance and status data. For example, if a user logs in to CA Performance Center and then follows a drilldown path to the data source interface, that user does not log in again.
CA Performance Center uses a distributed architecture. An instance of the Single Sign-On website is automatically installed on every server where a supported data source or CA Performance Center is installed. If two data source products are installed on the same server, they use the same instance of the Single Sign-On website. The distributed architecture lets users log in to individual CA data source products by logging in to the servers where these products are running.
