Primary Authentication Controller

The Primary Authentication Controller feature allows one instance of SmartSimple to authenticate users to gain access to a separate instance without having to log in separately (Single Sign-On).

Note: this is only relevant to clients that use multiple instances of SmartSimple.

• The instances can reside on the same server, or on separate servers.
• This access can be granted to all users, or limited to a subset of users.
