Set up Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO)

If Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO) is enabled on both the HPE Service Manager server and the Mobile Applications, Service Manager authentication will be bypassed if you have logged into another web application which also has LW-SSO enabled. The detailed bypass critieria includes both the protected domain/IP/DNS name and the initial LW-SSO string.

Enable LW-SSO on the Service Manager server

For detailed information about how to enable LW-SSO on Service Manager server, refer to the HPE Service Manager 9.52 Help Center.

Enable LW-SSO on the Mobile Applications client

To enable LW-SSO on the Mobile Applicationsclient, follow these steps:

  1. Open webapp-9.52.xxxx.war in an archive management program.
  2. Extract the security.xml file from the WEB-INF/spring directory to your local system, and then open this file in a text editor.
  3. Locate the following scripts:

    <!-- <security:custom-filter ref="preAuthenticationFilter" after="SECURITY_CONTEXT_FILTER"/>
        <security:custom-filter ref="lwSsoFilter" before="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER"/>
        <security:custom-filter ref="springSecurity2lwssoIntegrationFilter" position="LAST"/> -->
    

    Uncomment the second line and the third line as follows to enable LW-SSO:

    <!-- <security:custom-filter ref="preAuthenticationFilter" after="SECURITY_CONTEXT_FILTER"/> -->
        <security:custom-filter ref="lwSsoFilter" before="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER"/>
        <security:custom-filter ref="springSecurity2lwssoIntegrationFilter" position="LAST"/>
    
  4. Save the file and add the updated file back to the WEB-INF/spring directory of the webapp-9.52.xxxx.war archive.
  5. Extract the lwssofmconf.xml file from the WEB-INF/classes directory to your local system, and then open this file in a text editor.
  6. Configure the boldface parameters as follows:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <lwsso-config
