Creation of the configuration file for forms single signon

The forms single signon configuration file is custom-created by the administrator and saved in any location.

The -S option on the junction enables the forms single signon functionality and specifies the name of the configuration file. See How to enable forms single signon. A sample configuration file (containing commented instructions) is available through the LMI. Go to Web > Global Settings > Forms Based Single Sign-On to create an FSSO configuration file.

The configuration file must begin with the [forms-sso-login-pages] stanza and has the following format

[forms-sso-login-pages]
login-page-stanza = xxxxx
#login-page-stanza = aaaaa
#login-page-stanza = bbbbb

[xxxxx]
login-page = regular-expression-page-match
login-form-action = regular-expression-form-match
gso-resource = gso-target
argument-stanza = yyyyy

[yyyyy]
name = method:value
