Troubleshooting steps for SSO:

Trusted sites are the sites with which NTLM authentication can occur seamlessly. If SSO has failed, then the most probable cause is that the AD360 URL isn't a part of your browser's trusted sites. Kindly add the AD360 URL in the trusted sites list. Follow the steps given below:

1. Internet Explorer
2. Chrome
3. Firefox

Note:

1. It is recommended that you close all browser sessions after adding the URL to the trusted sites list for the changes to take effect.


2. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer use the same internet settings. Changing the settings either in Internet Explorer or in Chrome will enable NTLM SSO in both browsers. It is again recommended to close both the browser sessions for the changes to be enabled.
