Configure Advanced Features

After you configure the basic SSO setup, determine if your environment requires an advanced feature. Following are the advanced features:

• Use a third-party application to configure tokens. The basic scenario uses Sterling External Authentication Server to configure and manage tokens. To use a third-party application to configure tokens, you complete additional setup procedures. Refer to Allow a Third-Party Provider to Create Tokens for Connect:Direct®.
• Customize the OpenSAML v2 tokens-You use the default token generation definition when you configure the basic single sign-on definition. To customize the token definition, you can modify the named identity provider, the token signing key, or how long a token can be used before it expires. Refer to Customize Token Definitions Created by Sterling External Authentication Server for Connect:Direct.
• Configure Sterling B2B Integrator or Sterling File Gateway with additional pools-You use additional pools to support more than one Sterling External Authentication Server server. Refer to Configure Sterling B2B Integrator or Sterling File Gateway to use multiple Sterling External Authentication Server servers for Connect:Direct.
