Standard Installation Options

Host Integration Server takes advantage of the Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities for securely storing critical information.

By default, Enterprise Single Sign-On is not installed with the rest of Host Integration Server. You can install it by using the following procedure.

Note

When Enterprise Single Sign-on (Server component) is installed, configuration must be performed. The first step to set up an SSO system is to configure the master secret server. We recommend that you set up a stand-alone master secret server. You can do this by only selecting Enterprise Single Sign-On from the custom feature tree in Host Integration Server Setup.

We also recommend that any computer that is running Enterprise Single Sign-On have a time synchronization service running. This keeps the computer time in sync with the rest of the system. This is necessary for SSO ticketing services to function correctly.

To install Enterprise Single Sign-On

  1. Run the Setup program again.

  2. Select Custom Installation, and then select the appropriate option from the following list:
