Installing OS Single Sign-On
1. Install the SSO feature.
If the SSO feature is provisioned from an update site, the dialog will contain this Feature ID:
com.ibm.rcp.security.sso.feature
Otherwise, use the Tools menu to install the feature explicitly.
2. When prompted, select "Restart Now" to restart Sametime Connect.
3. Install the SSO Windows service by running ssoinstall.cmd.
The ssoinstall.cmd file is located in the following subdirectory of the Sametime Connect installation
directory (for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\Sametime Connect):
\features\com.ibm.rcp.security.sso.feature_1.0.0.200701121759\install
Either change your directory to this location to run ssoinstall.cmd, or double-click the file.
4. Restart the machine.
The option to "Use my operating system password" should now be displayed in the Sametime login
dialog. On the Product Configuration page (Tools > Plug-Ins > Manage Plug-ins...), the feature Sametime
Operating System Single Sign On Feature should be displayed and enabled. You can verify the Windows
service is installed correctly by looking at the Windows services console after restarting the machine. A
service called IBM Workplace Client Technology Single Logon should be listed and with a status of
"Started".

2. Expand the list of Communities in the left-hand pane
3. Select a community in the left-hand pane to display the login options.

Removing OS Single Sign-On
Complete the following steps to remove the "Use my operating system password" checkbox from the login
dialog and uninstall the Windows service that retrieves the OS password:
1. Run ssoremove.cmd.
The ssoremove.cmd file is located in the following subdirectory of the Sametime Connect installation
directory (for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\Sametime Connect):
\features\com.ibm.rcp.security.sso.feature_1.0.0.200701121759\install
Either change your directory to this location to run ssoremove.cmd, or double-click the file.
2. From Sametime Connect, select Tools > Plug-Ins > Manage Plug-ins... to display the Product
Configuration page. Locate Sametime Operating System Single Sign On Feature in the list of
features, select it and click "Disable". You will be prompted to restart the Sametime client. The feature
is disabled but it is still installed.
