Configuring Integrated Windows Authentication

Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA),also known as "single sign-on," allows Windows domain users to integrate their Windows login credentials with FME Server.When single sign-on is enabled:

  • There is no need to log in to the FME Server Web User Interface.You are already logged in through Windows.
  • Similarly,there is no need to log in to FME Server when using FME Workbench to publish a workspace.Instead,simply check 'Use Windows session credentials' in the Publish to FME Server wizard.

    • Note:When publishing a workspace to the Notification Service,you must still provide your FME Server credentials in the HTTP Authentication fields of the Edit Service Properties dialog of the wizard.

Note:Single sign-on is currently supported on Internet Explorer,Firefox and Chrome.

To enable single sign-on:

  1. Identify aservice account.
  2. Update the Windows domain configurationto allow FME Server to authenticate using single sign-on.
  3. Update the FME Server configurationto enable single sign-on.
  4. Update the web browser configurationto use single sign-on.
  5. Verify the configuration.Log in to the FME Server Web User Interface under an IWA-configured user account,and perform the relevant checkshere,depending on the permissions available to that account's role.
