Using Single Sign-On with GigaVUE H Series Nodes
GigaVUE-FM supports single sign-on authentication with H Series nodes running v3.0.05 and later. When this feature is configured properly, you can drill directly to an GigaVUE H Series node’s web-based interface (H-VUE) without having to enter login credentials – the credentials used in GigaVUE-FM are automatically passed to the managed H Series node and used to start the H-VUE session.
GigaVUE-FM users are mapped to local accounts differently depending on the configuration of the following aaa authorization settings on the H Series node:

Specifies how drill-downs from GigaVUE-FM are mapped to local accounts
This is the default behavior.

Specifies the account to which externally authenticated logins are mapped when map order is set to remote-first (if there is no matching local account) or local-only. The default-user is set to operator by default. However, the preconfigured operator account is locked out by default because it does not have a password assigned. You must assign a password to the operator account for single sign-on to work successfully when using the default settings on the H Series node (remote-first enabled and default-user set to operator). The example below shows how to do this. |
The following example shows an example of how to enable single sign-on from GigaVUE-FM to a managed H Series node:
Set a Password for the operator Account
1Start by checking the AAA settings in place on the H Series node with the show aaa command, as follows:
As you can see in the highlighted section above, the Default User is currently set to the operator account. This is the default setting on an H Series node.
2Next, check the status of the operator account with the show usernames account, as shown below:
| 1. | As you can see in the highlighted section above, the operator account is currently locked out. To ensure that single sign-on works successfully, assign a password to the operator account to unlock/enable it. The example below shows how to assign a username and then check the status of the account: |
Assign Roles to the operator Account
3Next, assign the operator account one or more roles to grant privileges on the H Series node. The following commands assign the Default role to the operator account and verify the results:
4At this point, single sign-on from the GigaVUE-FM installation managing this H Series node will work successfully. As an example, drill down to an H Series node’s H-VUE interface by selecting an entry in GigaVUE-FM’s Administer Physical Nodes page and clicking the Device Login button:
Notes and Rules for Single Sign-On Authentication
Keep in mind the following notes and rules when using the single sign-on feature from GigaVUE-FM to a managed H Series node:
| • | Single sign-on is only supported for H Series nodes running v3.0.05 and later. It is not supported for earlier releases or for G Series nodes at all. |
| • | Single sign-on is supported for both standalone and clustered H Series nodes. |
| • | Single sign-on is supported for all combinations of remote and local authentication between GigaVUE-FM and the managed H Series node. For example: |
| • | Both GigaVUE-FM and the H Series node use remote authentication. |
| • | Both GigaVUE-FM and the H Series node use local authentication. |
| • | GigaVUE-FM uses remote authentication and the H Series node uses local authentication. |
| • | GigaVUE-FM uses local authentication and the H Series node uses remote authentication. |
GigaVUE-FM keeps track of all events that occur in the system. The events lists all notifiable events that have occurred in the physical, virtual, and cloud. A variety of filters are also available to filter what events are displayed on the page.
