Each connector for Basic Single Sign-On (SSO) provides forms-based single sign-on to a destination web service or application through CloudAccess. It meets the specific interactive and content requirements for logging in to the website. A connector works with the Basic SSO extension for the Chrome browser to securely collect, store, retrieve, and replay the user’s authentication information for that website. For information about how CloudAccess keeps the user’s credentials secure, see Section 11.3, How CloudAccess Stores Credentials Securely with Basic SSO.
CloudAccess provides many connectors for Basic SSO that you can download from NetIQ Downloads. NetIQ CloudAccess adds new connectors for download as they become available.
IMPORTANT:Please contact NetIQ Technical Support if a connector for Basic SSO is not yet available for the forms-based authentication websites that your users access. This helps us to define requirements and set priorities for future connectors for Basic SSO.
You can also create your own custom connectors for Basic SSO with the NetIQ Access Connector Toolkit. For more information, see Section 3.0, Creating Custom Connectors.
