How to Install the SSO Administration Component
Overview
You can install the Enterprise Single Sign-On Administration component as a stand-alone feature. This is useful if you need to administer the SSO system remotely. The hardware and software requirements are the same as for a typical Enterprise SSO Runtime Services installation.
After installing the administration component, you enter the SSO Server to be used for management. You can do this with either the command line tool (ssomanage.exe), or the SSO Administration MMC Snap-In. Both procedures are listed in this topic.
Installing the SSO administrative utility (ssomanage.exe) does not create shortcuts on the Start menu to access the command line utilities. To run the SSO administrative utilities after installation, you must open a command prompt, and navigate to the SSO directory at Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On
.
The Enterprise SSO Administration feature also includes an MMC Snap-in. MMC 3.0 must be installed on your computer for the Snap-in to function.
To open the Enterprise SSO MMC Snap-in from the Start menu, select All Programs, select Microsoft Enterprise Single Sign-On, and then SSO Administration.
