7.1 Configuring Windows Servers for Single Sign On (SSO)

Operations Center can be configured to use Server Domain Authentication for single sign on with Microsoft SQL databases. Windows servers require additional configuration for SSO functionality.

To configure Windows servers for Single Sign On with Operations Center MSSQL databases:

  1. Stop the Operations Center server.

  2. Copy one of the OperationsCenter_install_path/mssql/win64/ntlmauth.dll files into the directory containing the java.exe used by the Operations Center server.

  3. If configuring Configuration Storage for Single Sign On, specify the domain, username and password when configuring the Configuration Storage definition.

    • On Windows servers, leave the username and password properties blank to attempt to connect using the current Windows user account.

    • If running Operations Center as a Windows service, the service must use the same domain user account as the database.

    For information on configuration storage database definition, see Configuring the Database for Configuration Storage, specifically Step 4 thru Step 9.

  4. Start the Operations Center server.

  5. If configuring the Service Warehouse or other database definitions, specify the domain, username and password when configuring the Microsoft SQL database definition. See bulleted list in previous Step 3 for guidelines on specifying credentials and the domain.

    For information on Service Warehouse and other database definition, see Section 7.3.2, Creating and Editing a Database Definition.
