BloxOne Endpoint SSO authentication allows users to log in to the Cloud Services Portal by using Single Sign-On (SSO). This grants or blocks access to sites according to a security policy defined for the username and user group associated with the authentication profile.
Applying BloxOne Endpoint SSO authentication is a four-step process:
- Create an authentication service configuration. For information on configuring security policy management, see Configuring Access Authentication.
- In the Cloud Services Portal, configure the authentication settings for a user profile. For information on creating an authentication profile for use with SSO, see Configuring Authentication Profiles.
- Create a security policy for use with the user profile. For details, see Configuring Security Policies.
- Successfully complete the BloxOne Endpoint sign-in and sign-out process.
