  • 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 additional information, see the topic Authentication in Arista VeloCloud Global Settings Guide.

To login into Orchestrator using the SSO as an Enterprise user:

  3. In the Organization Domain text box, enter the domain name used for the SSO configuration and select 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 cannot login again as native users.

  • 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, select 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 Administrators if you want to activate the In-product Contextual Help Panel feature.
