How can I set up Single Sign-on?

Updated

Single sign-on is a logon procedure in which a user needs access data for only one system in order to be able to log on to all linked systems. For this, settings have to be made at your identity provider.

Note 
Since many different third party solutions can be used as identity providers, these instructions can only give an example for the setup of an identity provider. The example is only valid for the mentioned software in the mentioned version. This example may not be applicable to other versions of the same software. For information on how to set up your identity provider, please refer to the product documentation or contact the manufacturer.

Feel free to contact us if you need assistance with setup.
