Configuring Single Sign-On Services

You must complete four steps to configure the Office SharePoint Server 2007 Single Sign-On Services.

To configure Single Sign-On Services


1. The first step to configuring Single Sign-On Services is to use the SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration Web application to complete the Enable SSO in the Farm task that is created after Office SharePoint Server 2007 has been installed. This task involves managing the Single Sign-On Administrator Account and the Enterprise Application Definition Administrator Account settings for determining who can administer and create Single Sign-On applications.

2. The next step is to manage the encryption key that is used to encrypt user information and passwords. The encryption key protects the information stored in the Single Sign-On database.

3. You can then add enterprise application definitions to the Single Sign-On Service. For example, you can provide connection details and descriptions for line-of-business applications.

4. Finally, you can add details of user accounts for accessing the enterprise applications, and you can map those credentials to Office SharePoint Server 2007 users

Creating and Configuring Policies for Document and Records Management

A policy is a set of rules for a specific type of important content.
Policies can be used to control and evaluate

- who can access the information,
- how long to retain the information, and
- when and how to discard information that must be destroyed.

Policies are usually added to lists and document libraries by compliance officers or records managers. Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes predefined policies that non-developers can use for a number of common scenarios, such as records retention, records expiration, and auditing. Office SharePoint Server 2007 also includes policies for document barcodes and official labels.
