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:

Identify a service account.
Update the Windows domain configuration to allow FME Server to authenticate using single sign-on.
Update the FME Server configuration to enable single sign-on.
Update the web browser configuration to use single sign-on.
