Quick overview

Remedy Single Sign-On (Remedy SSO) is an authentication system for a multi software environment that enables end users to enter credentials for authentication only once. After Remedy SSO authenticates the end users, they can automatically access any application protected by Remedy SSO without a need to provide the credentials again.

End users can change their AR passwords directly on the Remedy SSO end-user login page if an Remedy SSO administrator has enabled this functionality.
