Single-Sign-On Extent?

Question

When you say "Enabling Single-Sign-On will disable Windows and Database authentication", is that just in reference to logging in? Can you still use Windows or Database authentication in setting up database connections?

Answer 1

Enabling Single-Sign-On disables Windows and Database authentication as an authentication option when signing in to dbFront.

When Single-Sign-On is enabled, the user will no longer see any authentication attempts by dbFront. Instead, dbFront will delegate all authentication attempts to the configured Single-Sign-On service.

This has no effect on the process of creating database connections. The database connections are used exclusively to create applications that are made available to users.

Note: The database connections must be made using that specific database server's authentication. Windows authentication is not applicable at that point.
