Configure Single Sign-on Authentication on Windows

Before you configure Windows domain single sign-on authentication, make sure Sintelix is running on a Windows machine that belongs to the same domain as your users.

Projects created prior to configuring single sign-on authentication will not be accessible to users unless you enable the bulk synchronisation feature. This feature allows users to access older projects using single sign-on authentication by including username permission in addition to domain\username permission.

To configure Windows domain single sign-on authentication:

  1. Go to the file: <Sintelix Database Directory>\external-users\user_repositories.xml

    To find the location of your Sintelix database folder, select the Status tab and find the System Configuration section. the location is displayed in the Main datastore location field.

  2. Locate the <windowsLoginConfigurations> section in the user_repositories.xml file.
  3. Make the changes you require to the code. Use the code below as a guide.

Example

Copy 
<item>
    <domain>MYCOMPANY</domain>
    <adminGroups>
        <item>BUILTIN\Administrators</item>

    <userGroups role="CONFIGURE">
        <item>BUILTIN\Administrators</item>
    </userGroups>
    <userGroups role="ANALYST">

    <adminRoles></adminRoles>
    <userRoles role="CONFIGURE"></userRoles>
