Hi,

I have configured Remedy to use SSO using the instructions in
AREA_SSO_ALL_v206MT_v209AREA zip file.

Environment
ARS 7.6.04
Windows 2008 64 bit
IIS 7.5
Tomcat 6


I’ve updated the server.xml file in the apache conf directory to
include tomcatAuthentication="false"

In IIS I have disabled Anonymous Authentication and enabled Windows
Authentication.

For users who are included in the AD they can successfully login with
SSO.

But users who only have a local Remedy account and don’t exist in AD
will get an authentication error. Remedy attempts to automatically
authenticate the users with their AD details, but as they don’t exist
in Remedy using their AD details they get the authentication issue. I
was expecting that if SSO failed the Remedy login page would be
displayed.

I’ve read that in IIS both Anonymous and Windows Authentication should
be enabled, but if I enable Anonymous authentication the login page is
always displayed to the users stopping SSO from working.

The Mid Tier logs capture the following, so with Anonymous
Authentication enabled the Remote User name is not returned.

Is there a way to configure IIS to allow users in AD to authenticate
using SSO and the Remedy login page to be displayed for users who
don’t exist in AD?

Thanks

Phil
