Configure a Single Sign-On Source in vRealize Operations Manager
As a system administrator or virtual infrastructure administrator, you use single sign-on to enable SSO users
to log in securely to your vRealize Operations Manager environment.
After the single sign-on source is congured, users are redirected to an SSO identity source for
authentication. When logged in, users can access other vSphere components such as the vCenter Server
without having to log in again.
