This section discusses how to log in to Arista Edge Cloud Orchestrator using Single Sign On (SSO) as an Enterprise user.
  • Users must configure the SSO authentication in Orchestrator.
  • Users must set up users, roles, and OIDC application for the SSO in their preferred IDPs. For additional information, refer to Authentication in the Arista SASE Global Settings Guide.
To log into Orchestrator using the SSO as an Enterprise user, use the following steps:
  1. In a web browser, launch the Orchestrator application as an Enterprise user. The VeloCloud Orchestrtator Operations Console screen appears.

  • Starting with the 5.4.0 release, the SD-WAN service of the Enterprise Orchestrator UI supports the In-product Contextual Help Panel with context-sensitive user assistance 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 Orchestrator without navigating to another site for guidance or contact the Support Team.
    Note: By default, the Support Panel is not available to all Enterprise users. If users want to activate the In-product Contextual Help Panel feature, contact the Operator or Partner Admins.
