As a system administrator or virtual infrastructure administrator, you use single sign-on to activate SSO users to log in securely to your VMware Aria Operations environment.
After the single sign-on source is configured, users are redirected to an SSO identity source for authentication. When logged in, users can access other vSphere components such as the vCenter Server without having to log in again.
Prerequisites
- Verify that the server system time of the single sign-on source and VMware Aria Operations are synchronized. If you need to configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP), see information about cluster and node maintenance in the VMware Aria Operations Getting Started Guide.
- Verify that you have access to a Platform Services Controller through the vCenter Server. See the VMware vSphere Information Center for more details.
