Updating the Web Browser Configuration

Depending on the browser used to access the FME Server Web User Interface, additional configuration steps may be required for Integrated Windows Authentication (single sign-on).

Internet Explorer

Single sign-on is supported in Internet Explorer versions 2 and later.

In most common Windows domain configurations, no additional configuration is necessary. However, if a user is unable to use single sign-on with FME Server, check the following:

  1. Open 'Internet Options' from the Start menu. (In Windows XP, you can access 'Internet Options' from the Tools menu in Internet Explorer.)
  2. On the 'Security' tab, select 'Local intranet'.
  3. If FME Server is not a part of the local intranet, add it to the list of local intranet sites. To do so, click Sites -> Advanced, then add the site address (for example, http://fmeserver.domain.net).
  4. On the 'Security' tab, select 'Local intranet' and click 'Custom level...'.
  5. Ensure that under User Authentication -> Login, 'Automatic logon only in Intranet zone' is selected.
  6. On the 'Advanced' tab, ensure that Security -> Enable Integrated Windows Authentication is checked.
  7. Restart the browser.
Chrome

Single sign-on is supported in Chrome versions 8 and later.

In most common Windows domain configurations, no additional configuration is necessary. However, if a user is unable to use single sign-on with FME Server, perform the same steps outlined under Internet Explorer.

Firefox

Single sign-on is supported on all versions of Firefox.

To enable single sign-on in Firefox:

  1. In the address bar, type about:config. Accept the warning if one appears.
  2. In the search bar, type network.negotiate.
  3. Select the preference 'network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris', and double-click it to modify its value.
  4. Enter FME Server's site address (for example, http://fmeserver.domain.net). Multiple site addresses can be listed, separated by a comma (,).
  5. Restart the browser.
Apple Safari and Opera

Single sign-on is currently not supported on these browsers.
