Single signon scenarios

Use this information to review scenarios that illustrate typical single signon implementation situations to help you plan your own certificate implementation as part of your server security policy.

These scenarios provide a logical progression for configuring and using single signon in an enterprise. Although all of these scenarios provide models for network administrators, there is also a scenario for application developers that demonstrates the tasks that a developer needs to complete to create applications that can participate in a single signon environment.

• Scenario: Creating a single signon test environment
  In this scenario, you want to configure network authentication service and EIM to create a basic single signon test environment. Use this scenario to gain a basic understanding of what configuring a single signon environment involves on a small scale before implementing single signon across an entire enterprise.

• Scenario: Enabling single signon for i5/OS
  View this scenario to learn how to configure network authentication service and EIM to create a single signon environment across multiple systems in an enterprise. This scenario expands on the concepts and tasks presented in the previous scenario which demonstrates how to create a simple single signon test environment.

• Scenario: Propagating network authentication service and EIM across multiple systems
  This scenario demonstrates how to use the Synchronize Functions wizard in iSeries™ Navigator to propagate a single signon configuration across multiple systems in a mixed OS/400® release environment. Administrators can save time by configuring single signon once and propagating that configuration to all of their systems, instead of configuring each system individually.

• Scenario: Configuring the Management Central servers for single signon
  View this scenario to learn how to configure your Management Central servers to participate in a single signon environment. After administrators complete the scenario for propagating a single signon configuration across multiple systems, they can do the necessary configuration so that their Management Central servers can participate in the single signon environment.

• Scenario: Enabling single signon for ISV applications
  View this information to review scenarios that illustrate typical single signon implementation situations to help you plan your own certificate implementation as part of your server security policy.
