To use the connectors for Basic SSO, you must ensure that you meet the following requirements:
Connectors for Basic SSO work with applications that require forms-based authentication for login. Typically, they have the following login requirements:
The application’s login page uses HTML Forms as the main point of interaction with the user.
The application requires the user’s password to be sent for logging in to the application.
The application does not support using SAML 2.0 or WS-Federation protocols for federated trust relationships instead of sending passwords.
The login page scheme must HTTPS not HTTP.
The connectors for Basic SSO support user access to the application only through Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox web browsers running on a desktop or laptop computer. The browsers work with the Basic SSO extension to securely collect, store, retrieve, and replay users’ credentials for the applications.
The connectors for Basic SSO support the following browser versions:
Chrome
Firefox 34 or later
Internet Explorer 11
The MobileAccess app supports the secure retrieval and replay of previously stored credentials for applications that users access through the User Portal page on supported mobile devices.
For user access to the applications on supported mobile devices, the MobileAccess app supports only the following versions:
iOS 9.x
Android Kit Kat 4.4 or Lollipop 5.x
A user must install the Basic SSO extension in a supported browser one time on each desktop or laptop they use to access the Basic SSO applications.
For Chrome, the extension is available for free from the Google Play Store. If it is not installed when the user accesses the application through Access Manager, Access Manager prompts the user to go to the Google Play Store and install it. The installation adds the extension to the Chrome Extensions list, with the following permissions:
Access your data on all websites
Access your tabs and browsing activity
For Firefox, the extension is available through Add-ons. The Firefox extension behaves the same way the Chrome extension behaves.
For Internet Explorer, Access Manager prompts the user to install the Basic SSO extension, when the user accesses the application through Access Manager.
Basic SSO is not supported in a mixed Access Manager environment. All components of Access Manager, the IDP clusters, Access Gateway clusters, and the Administration Console must be at version 4.3 or later for Basic SSO to work.
