About authenticating users outside Sterling File Gateway

There are two supported methods of authenticating users outside Sterling File Gateway and Sterling B2B Integrator:

• Single Sign-On (SSO) - a method of access control that enables a user to log in once to a company network or portal site to gain access to multiple software systems without logging in again. SSO bypasses the built-in authentication process in Sterling File Gateway and instead trusts that a user has been authenticated by vendor software.
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) - a network protocol for accessing directories where user credentials are authenticated against an external LDAP directory instead of against the Sterling B2B Integrator database user table for access to Sterling File Gateway.
