VeloCloud SD-WAN 6.4 - Administration Guide - Using SSO Login for Enterprise User Print

Using SSO Login for Enterprise User

This section describes how to log in to Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator using Single Sign On (SSO) as an Enterprise user.
  • You must configure the SSO authentication in Orchestrator.
  • You must set up users, roles and OIDC application for the SSO in your preferred IDPs. For more information, see the topic Authentication in the Arista SASE Global Settings Guide.
To login into Orchestrator using the SSO as an Enterprise user:
  1. In a web browser, launch the Orchestrator application as an Enterprise user. The VeloCloud Orchestrator Operations Console screen appears.

  2. Click Sign In With Your Identity Provider.

  3. In the Organization Domain text box, enter the domain name used for the SSO configuration and click Sign In.
    The IDP configured for the SSO authenticates the user and redirects the user to the configured Orchestrator URL.
    Note: Once the users log in to the Orchestrator using SSO, they are not allowed to login again as native users.

Additionally, in the Orchestrator home page, you can access the following features from the Global Navigation bar:
  • The user can click the User icon located at the top right of the screen to access the My Account page. The My Account page allows users to configure basic user information, SSH keys, and API tokens. Users can also view the current user's role, associated privileges, and additional information such as version number, build number, legal and terms information, cookie usage, and trademarks. For more information, refer to the Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN Operator Guide - Configure User Account Details.

  • Starting with the 5.4.0 release, the In-product Contextual Help Panel with context-sensitive user assistance is supported in the SD-WAN service of the Enterprise Orchestrator UI and as well as for the Operator and Partner levels. In the Global Navigation bar, click the Question Mark icon located at the top right of the screen to access the Support panel.

     

    The Support panel allows users across all levels to access helpful and important information such as Question-Based Lists (QBLs), Knowledge base links, Ask the Community link, how to file a support ticket, and other related documentation from within the Orchestrator UI page itself. This makes it easier for the user to learn our product without having to navigate to another site for guidance or contact the Support Team.
    Note: By default, the Support Panel is not available to all Enterprise users. Contact your Operator or Partner Admins if you want to activate the In-product Contextual Help Panel feature.
