SSO impacts on user access

In an IXIA CCMS on-premise deployment that implements Single Sign-On (SSO), users who sign in to the company's identity provider also automatically sign in to CCMS Web. SSO does not impact connections to CCMS Desktop.

Important: You must add all users to the users.xml file in the IXIA CCMS configuration, regardless of whether or not you implement SSO.
