Introduction
Cisco Unity Connection supports the single sign-on feature that allows users to log in once and gain access to Unity Connection web applications, such as Cisco Unity Connection Administration and Cisco Personal Communications Assistant.
Unity Connection supports the single sign-on feature on the platform applications such as Cisco Unified Communications OS Administration and Disaster Recovery System. Unity Connection provides a user to have single sign-on access with Unity Connection subscriber web interfaces and across the administrative web applications on the following Unified Communication Applications:
- Unity Connection
- Cisco Unified Communications Manager
- Cisco Unified IM/Presence
- Cisco Unified Communications OS Administration
- Disaster Recovery System
The SAML SSO feature is based on open industry standard protocol SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language). For more information on SAML protocol, see the Understanding SAML Protocol, section.
Note |
Single Sign-On using SAML can now be enabled using only graphical user interface (GUI) as enabling the features through command line interface (CLI) is no longer supported. |
SAML SSO supports both LDAP and non-LDAP users to gain single sign-on access. LDAP users are the users integrated to Active Directory. Non-LDAP users are the users that reside locally on Unity Connection server.
- The LDAP users are allowed to login with a username and password that authenticates on Identity Provider. For more information on Identity Provider, see the Understanding Service Provider and Identity Provider , section.

non-LDAP
users with administrator rights login to Cisco Unity Connection Administration

administrative, platform and serviceability web applications via username and
password. A non-LDAP user can access the following web applications on Unity
Connection using Recovery URL:
- Unity Connection Administration
