aXsGUARD Gatekeeper Single Sign-On Utility (SSO) How To v1.6 Configuration and Use
A user profile consists of a unique name and a short (optional) description, for instance home office, followed
by the IP address of the aXsGUARD Gatekeeper.
The SSO Authentication Utility attempts to complete the aXsGUARD Gatekeeper LAN IP address by performing
a DNS lookup of the default DNS name axsguard. If the DNS name is not found, the aXsGUARD@ field needs
to be completed manually.
In Domain Mode (see section 2.5.1), the SSO Authentication Utility also attempts to detect the username and
the Windows Domain.
Note
In Workgroup Mode the domain field will is grayed out.
There are three instances in which the password field in a user profile may be left blank.
These are described in the table below:

Instances in which the password field may be left blank
Windows Domain Mode When working in Windows Domain Mode, the username and password
fields cannot be edited by the user, since he/she authenticates with the
Windows Domain server (see section 2.5.1).
Workgroup Mode If your company policy prevents the storage of aXsGUARD Gatekeeper
user passwords locally (When not using the Single Sign-On feature), users
will be prompted to authenticate whenever required (see image below).
VASCO Digipass For aXsGUARD Gatekeeper systems which are configured for
authentication with a VASCO Digipass, a password window appears
whenever a user is required to authenticate (see image below).
