Single Sign-On Settings

"Single sign-on" is a feature to pass the logged-in user's authentication information from Garoon to other systems.
Once users have logged in to Garoon, they do not need to enter account and password for authentication when they access other systems from Garoon.
For details on authentication methods to log in to Garoon and how to keep the authentication information after login, see Authentication System.

    This is a form authentication. Systems authenticate users using parameters set in the URL.
    Logged-in users' information is sent as parameters in URL.
  • POST Authentication
