  3. Click on Enterprise SSO and select Enable Enterprise Single Sign-On on this computer.

  4. Choose from one of the following options:

    • Create a new SSO System to create a new SSO system database.
    • Join an existing SSO System to use an existing SSO system database.

  10. Optionally, if you are creating a new creating ESSO Store you must select the windows groups for each of the SSO-related roles:

    • SSO Administrator(s): SSO administrators have the highest level user rights in the SSO system. The SSO administrators account can be either a Windows group account or an individual account. The SSO administrators account can also be either a domain or local group or individual account.
    • SSO Affiliate Administrator (s): The SSO affiliate administrator defines the affiliate applications that the SSO system contains. Affiliate applications are a logical entity that represents the back-end system to which you are connecting using SSO.

  12. Click on Enterprise Single Sign-On Secret Backup to display the Secret Backup settings section.

ASP.NET 1.1 runs only in 32-bit mode. ASP.NET 2.0 runs in 32-bit mode or in 64-bit mode. You must configure the IIS server to run both ASP 1.1 and ASP 2.0 in 32-bit, in order to provide seamless integration for your ESSO applications.

To configure IIS 6 to run in 32-bit mode:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  2. Type the following command to enable the 32-bit mode:
  3. cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
  4. Type the following command to install the version of ASP.NET 2.0 (32-bit) and to install the script maps at the IIS root and under:
  5. %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
  6. Make sure that the status of ASP.NET version 2.0.50727 (32-bit) is set to Allowed in the Web service extension list in Internet Information Services Manager.

To configure IIS 7 to run in 32-bit mode:

  1. Click Start >All Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  2. In the Connections pane, select the connection and the application pool for the CCF Server.
  3. In the Actions pane, click Advanced Settings.
  4. In the Advanced Settings Dialog box, set the Enable 32-bit applications property to True.
  5. Close the IIS Manager and restart IIS.

You can now configure hosted applications to use ESSO. For more information on configuring Hosted applications for ESSO, see Configuring a Hosted Application for Auto Sign-on. For more information about configuring and managing your ESSO server, see the MSDN help for ESSO.
