How can I implement Single Sign-On (SSO) and external security with AIV?

Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) and external security with Active Intelligence Visualization (AIV) involves several steps and configurations. Here’s a general approach to guide you through the process:

Choose an SSO Protocol
AIV supports common SSO protocols such as SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and OAuth/OpenID Connect. Determine which protocol suits your organization’s needs.
Configure AIV for SSO
- Access the AIV Administration Panel: Begin by logging into the AIV administration interface.
- Set Up Identity Provider (IdP): If you’re using SAML, configure your IdP settings, which may include entering the SSO URL, certificate details, and mapping user attributes.
- Client Registration: For OAuth, register your application with the identity provider, obtain client IDs and secrets, and configure the redirect URIs.
External Security Integration
To implement external security measures, consider:
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Define user roles and permissions in AIV to restrict access based on the user’s role.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): If supported by your IdP, enable MFA to enhance security during the authentication process.
- Session Management: Ensure that session timeout settings are properly configured to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access.
Testing and Validation
After configuration, thoroughly test the SSO implementation:
- Test the login flow to ensure users can authenticate via the SSO provider.
- Validate that permissions and access controls work as expected.
Documentation and Support
- Refer to the AIV Documentation for detailed steps and examples on configuring SSO and security features. The developer documentation often includes sections specifically for integrating SSO.
- If you encounter issues, contact AIV Support for assistance and guidance.
