How to Set the Enterprise Single Sign-On Server

Every time that you use the command line management utility, ssomanage, you must first point the user to the Single Sign-On (SSO) server that you want to connect to.

You can do this in one of two ways:

  • Individual users can point themselves to the correct Single Sign-On server.

  • A local computer administrator for the Single Sign-On server can point all the members of the Single Sign-On Users account to this server.

To set the Enterprise Single Sign-On server using the MMC Snap-In

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Enterprise Single Sign-On, and then click SSO Administration.

  2. In the MMC Snap-In under the Console Root, right-click Enterprise Single Sign-On, and then click Select.

  3. Browse to the desired server.

  4. If appropriate, select the Set SSO Server for all users check box.

  5. Click OK.

To set the Enterprise Single Sign-On server for a single user

  1. Click Start, click Run, and then type cmd.

  2. At the command prompt, go to the Enterprise Single Sign-On installation directory.

    The default installation directory is <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On.

  3. Type ssomanage –server <Single Sign-On Server>, where <Single Sign-On Server> is the computer name of the Single Sign-On server that the user wants to connect to.

To set the Enterprise Single Sign-On server for all users

  1. Click Start, click Run, and then type cmd.

  2. At the command prompt, go to the Enterprise Single Sign-On installation directory.

    The default installation directory is <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On.

  3. Type ssomanage –serverall <Single Sign-On Server>, where <Single Sign-On Server> is the computer name of the Single Sign-On server that all members of the Single Sign-On Users account will be pointed to.

To determine the Enterprise Single Sign-On Server to which a user is connected

  1. Click Start, click Run, and then type cmd.

  2. At the command prompt, go to the Enterprise Single Sign-On installation directory.

    The default installation directory is <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On.

  3. Type ssomanage –showserver.
