Important 
Single sign-on is supported when the deployment includes the Security Appliance Manager.
The Security Appliance Manager, which replaces the V-Series Appliance Manager, provides a centralized, graphical management console for all Forcepoint appliances in the deployment.
When you register Forcepoint appliances in the Security Manager, you can configure single sign-on. When you click the Single Sign-On button, a page displays that describes how to manage your appliance using the CLI, and provides access to the Content Gateway Manager if Content Gateway is running on the appliance.
*
To register an appliance with the Security Manager, see Registering an appliance.
*
To configure an existing appliance (for example, an appliance upgraded from a previous version) for single sign-on, see Configuring an existing appliance for single sign-on.
*
To access an appliance that is not configured for single sign-on, click the appliance's IP address. This opens a logon page in a new browser.
