Configuring Release Manager Authentication

Release Manager requires Single Sign-On (SSO). This means that you must select Single Sign-On (SSO) as the session manager for SBM in the Authentication tab.

To enable Single Sign-On (SSO):

1. In SBM Configurator, open the Authentication tab.
2. Select one of the following authentication options in the Validate user credentials against drop-down list:
   • Internal SBM Database
   • LDAP
   • LDAP then Internal
   Important: If you are currently using Windows Domain (NTCR) authentication, select LDAP or LDAP then Internal instead to validate your users. This validates your domain users against Active Directory instead of the Windows Controller. This means you must change the authentication for the tmtrack virtual directory in IIS from Windows Authentication to Anonymous.
3. Select Single Sign-On in the User sessions are managed by drop-down list.
4. Configure LDAP server connection settings on the LDAP sub-tab. For details on these settings, refer to "Configuring LDAP Authentication" in the SBM Installation and Configuration Guide.

Release Manager is now properly configured to use Single Sign-On (SSO). Proceed to the Common Services tab and verify the Relationship Service settings.
