How to Set Credentials for a User Mapping

  • Article

Use this command to set the credentials for a user to access a specific application.

This command does not display the password as you type it.

If the user mapping already exists, this command sets the credentials for that existing mapping. If you have not created the user mapping, the SSO system will prompt you for the user ID for the application.

  1. On the Start menu, click Run, and then type cmd.

  2. At the command line, go to the Enterprise Single Sign-On installation directory. The default installation directory is <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On.

  3. Type ssomanage –setcredentials <domain>\<username> <applicationname>, where <domain> is the Windows domain for the user account, <username> is the Windows user name, and <applicationname> is the specific application for which you want to set the credentials for.
