Logging In to the Prime Central Portal
Prime Central features single sign-on (SSO), meaning that when you log in to the Prime Central portal, you do not have to log in separately to each application within your domain.
Using an open-source product called Central Authentication Service (CAS), the SSO solution offers a central authoritative source that is shared by the Prime Central portal and applications.
With an SSO CAS solution, different applications can authenticate to one authoritative source of trust. You then log in to that single source; you do not have to log in to each application separately. Any authentication provider (such as RADIUS, TACACS+, or LDAP) can use the eXtensible Management Platform (XMP) login mechanism within the CAS authentication handler. CAS SSO applies to all web applications that are running under the same browser session.
