Setting up Single Sign-On

Administrators can set up single sign-on (SSO) for users that have access to Dell PowerConnect W-Series

controllers. This allows users to log in to an AMP and use the IP Address or Quick Links hypertext links across

AMP to access the controller’s UI, without having to enter credentials again. The links the user can select to

access a controller can be found on the APs/Devices > Monitor page in the Device Info section, and on device

list pages.

This feature must be enabled per role in AMP Setup > Roles.

To enable this feature for this AMP, locate the Single Sign-On section in AMP Setup > Authentication. In the

Enable Single Sign-On field, select Yes. Then select Save if you are finished, or you can follow the next

procedure to configure TACACS+ and RADIUS Authentication options.

Configuring TACACS+ Authentication

For TACACS+ capability, you must configure the IP/Hostname of the TACACS+ server, the TCP port, and the

server shared secret. This TACACS+ configuration is for AirWave users, and does not affect APs or users logging

into APs.
