Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) through Other Third-Party Applications

You can implement single sign-on to MicroStrategy Web using other third-party authentication providers. You do this using tasks to perform actions such as logging in, logging out, creating a session state, and getting the session state. The Task Infrastructure supports the following tasks, which you can use to customize authentication:  

• login  

• logout  

• createSessionState  

• getSessionState  

• checkUserPrivileges

The third-party application can keep a session state on behalf of the user. The session state can be gathered when the user initially logs in to the third-party application or when the user clicks a link to MicroStrategy Web.
