Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors, the method comprising: identifying a first system for single sign-on capabilities; identifying a second system disparate from the first system for providing a single sign-on capability with the first system through a cloud-based single sign-on (SSO) configuration manager; automatically accessing metadata associated with the sign-on information of the second system, the set of metadata identifying sign-on-related information for sharing at least one credential/certificate for logging in to the second system; using the metadata to obtain an authorization for a single sign-on between the first and second systems; receiving a request from the first system for authorization at the second system; in response to the request, providing the authorization and creating a cloud-based SSO system that includes the first and second systems; monitoring a set of certificates associated with at least one of the first or second systems after creating the SSO system; determining that at least one of the certificates associated with one of the first or second systems is nearing expiration; and alerting a system administrator associated with that system of the nearing certificate expiration.
