Introduction
Cisco provides many Unified Communications Products . As an end user, we want to sign on once for all of my Cisco UC Applications to avoid entering same credentials Multiple times
With UC 10.x , Single Sign On (SSO) using SAML protocol achieves this requirement. Through SAML/SSO we provide the ability to log into different UC services like Administrative, Self-care and End User applications of Call manager , Unity Connection , Presence server .
With this Mechanism, we offload the Authentication work to Identity Provider (IdP) and UC products only take care of Authorization .
