Step 3a: Configure SMS Advanced, Authentication (optional)

To configure the authentication dialog

1. Select System Management Server then click the Advanced button and select the Authentication tab.

2. Select the authentication option. Each option will exhibit different single sign on (SSO) behaviors across desktop and web based Ops control products.

   • Select to authenticate using an embedded pop-up browser: This option displays the AVEVA Identity Manager login page in an embedded browser using a pop-up window when you are prompted to authenticate.

   • Select to authenticate using your default browser: This option displays the AVEVA Identity Manager login page in your default browser when you are prompted to authenticate.

   

   Note: The default behavior - an embedded pop-up dialog - is best for a machine that does not have a default browser configured, or in a restricted environment, or where no browser is installed. Selecting to use your computer's default browser will support all other uses. For more information, see Embedded browser pop-up versus default browser.
