Description

Single Sign-on (SSO) is a specialized form of authentication that allows a user to enter login and password only once during session of interaction with several Web applications. Use the sso operator to configure SSO service in Plesk. Before configuring SSO branding, read the Configuring SSO Branding section.

The operator is also used for managing delegation rules. The rules define what users of a specific application (registered in the same IdP as Plesk) can be authorized in Plesk.

For details on SSO, refer to the Integration into SSO System Developer's Guide included into APS Identity (SSO) SDK (http://www.parallels.com/r/sdk/aps-identity--sdk.zip).
