Upcoming Migration from LDAP to SSO Authentication for RDKM Managed Applications
Dear RDK Community Members,
We want to inform you about an important upcoming change: we will be migrating from LDAP authentication to Single Sign-On (SSO) for all RDKM Managed applications, including:
By the end of December 2024, all RDKM members will need to use SSO authentication to access these applications. This migration will introduce email-based authentication, meaning custom usernames will no longer be used. Instead, your email address will serve as your login identifier.
We plan to execute a staged rollout, where each application will transition from LDAP to SSO authentication on a biweekly basis. During this period, it is important for all members to start using SSO, as LDAP authentication will be phased out once the migration is complete.
As we approach the migration date, we will provide detailed instructions to ensure a smooth transition. Please stay tuned for further updates and steps to take.
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we make this enhancement to our authentication process
What is SSO ?
It's an authentication process that allows a user to access multiple applications or services with one set of login credentials. Instead of remembering different usernames and passwords for each service, users log in once and gain access to all interconnected systems.
This improves user convenience and enhances security by reducing the number of passwords that need to be managed. SSO is commonly used in enterprise environments for secure application authentication
