Advanced Login for Administrator

In the Agile e6 Java Client some configurations have to be performed to activate the sigle sign-on functionality. This can only be performed by administrators.
 

Login Dialog - Activating Advanced Login

 

The Agile e6 login dialog has to be modified in order to show the Advanced Login section.

In Agile e6, open the Preferences mask.

Open the Login section.
Select the option Show advanced login settings.
 
 
Login Selection Description
Login type: Basic This is the default selection and allows logging in to Agile e6 with the Agile e6 user and password.
Login type: LDAP

This selection allows logging in to Agile e6 with a LDAP user and LDAP password.

In this case, the same password, that is used for LDAP, can be used to log in to Agile e6.

Login type: Kerberos

With this selection, after logging in to Windows, Agile e6 can be started without having to log in again.

In this case, the Windows password is being used to log in to Agile e6.

Show advanced login settings For the single sign-on functionality, this option has to be selected, to display the Advanced Login section in the login dialog.
Force to show login dialog

Only useful in connection with the Kerberos login type!

When the Kerberos login type is selected, as default, there is no extra login dialog when starting Agile e6. With this selection, the login dialog is forced to be displayed.

Click Apply.
