I. Change browser settings to allow Single Sign-On

Trusted sites are the sites with which NTLM authentication can occur seamlessly. If SSO has failed, then the most probable cause is that the Log360 URL isn't a part of your browser's trusted sites. Kindly add the Log360 URL in the trusted sites list. Follow the steps given below:

1. Microsoft Edge

2. Chrome

3. Firefox

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 Microsoft Edge use the same internet settings. Changing the settings either in Microsoft Edge 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.

II. Check the computer account configuration

Status: Error in Creating Computer Account

This error can be due to any of the reasons listed below:

1. Invalid domain credentials in Log360

This could happen when the credentials of the user account specified in the domain settings section of Log360 are expired. To update the credentials and synchronize it with Log360, follow these steps:

• Log into the Log360 web-console with admin credentials.

• Navigate to the required component using the Apps Pane or the Jump to link.

• Click on domain settings and update the domain credentials (i.e., username and password).

• Synchronize the updated domain credentials with Log360 by navigating to Log360 → Admin tab and clicking on the Sync now button. 

2. Domain controllers are not accessible from Log360

When Log360 cannot reach the specified domain controllers (DCs), you must add another DC that it can access. the above error might occur. To do this:

• Log into Log360 web-console with admin credentials.

• Navigate to the required component through the Apps Pane or the Jump to link.

• Click domain settings and specify the name of the relavent DC, and also the credentials of the account that the Log360 should use. 

• Synchronize the updated domain controller with Log360 by navigating to Log360 → Admin tab and clicking on the Sync now button.

3. Non-conformance to password policy

When the password of the automatically created computer accounts for NTLM authentication does not meet the domain password policy settings, this error occurs. To resolve this issue, you need to create a computer account manually, with a password in accordance with the domain policy settings. To accomplish this, follow the steps given below:

• Click the error message: 'Error in creating a new computer account', in the status column against the domain in which you wish to create a computer account.
