VALT SSO Check List

Where to Begin?

Before SSO is configured on your VALT server, there are a few things that need to be done, setup, and understood. This article aims to help you identify where you are in the process and what steps need to be done before you configure SSO on your server!

SSO Checklist

The following list of items should be done before you configure SSO with VALT. Identifying where you are in this process is your first step!

New System

If you have a new system, use this list to identify what needs to be done.

☑ Identify desire to use SSO for VALT authentication.

☐ Server racked and patched. **If a VM is being used, ensure you have completed our VM Validation**.

☐ Create DNS entry for VALT and install an SSL certificate.

**IVS can assist with generating CSRs and Installing Certificates, but you must source the SSL certificate internally**.

☐ Configure VALT to talk to an NTP server.

☐ Understand the SSO workflow.

☐ Understand VALT Users & Groups.

Existing System

If you have an existing system, use this list to identify what needs to be done.

☑ Identify desire to use SSO for VALT authentication.

☐ Create DNS entry for VALT and install an SSL certificate.

**IVS can assist with generating CSRs and Installing Certificates, but you must source the SSL certificate internally**.

☐ Configure VALT to talk to an NTP server.

☐ Understand the SSO workflow.

☐ Talk with an IVS technician about how account migrations will look in your environment.

Configuration

Once you have that information, you can start looking at the SSO configuration information.
