I’m not sure how to switch or when SSO is automatically in play. Hi Robert, When you turn on SSO on 4D Server with the “Authentication of user with domain server” checkbox, that just makes the “Current client authentication” command work. That’s it. Turning on that checkbox does not automate anything for you. The name of the checkbox may make you think that 4D will do something for you when you turn it on, but it really does nothing but make a single command return a value you can rely on. You are in control of everything. There is nothing handled for you automatically. You program your 4D application to work the way you want it to work. It is all up to you. You must write code to do what you want. Seems like people think that turning on the “Authentication of user with domain server” checkbox on 4D Server will cause 4D to do something for you. Do some work for you. Make something happen for you. It doesn’t. All it does is make “Current client authentication” command return a value on Windows that you can trust. How you use the information from the "Current client authentication” command is completely up to you.
