Logging On with Active Directory Authentication

Apex Central allows you to use a SAML 2.0 single sign-on (SSO) identity provider (IdP) to authenticate and allow users or groups from federated business partners across an extranet to log on to the Apex Central console.

Important:

Authenticating users or groups using a SAML 2.0 single sign-on (SSO) identity provider requires the following configuration tasks:

  1. Open a web browser and go to the following address:

    http(s)://<host name>/WebApp/login.html

    Where <host name> is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), IP address, or server name of the Apex Central server.

    The Log On screen appears.

  2. Type the user name for the federated domain account.

    The Password field disables.

  3. Click Log On.

    Apex Central redirects you to the IdP login screen.

  4. Type the password for the federated domain account.
  5. Click Sign in.
  6. To log off from the web console, go to the top right corner of the web console and click <account_name> > Log Off.
