Changing single sign-on URL in Directory Server

Directory Server
Updated May 5, 2016
asked on May 4, 2016

Hi there,

Is there a way to change the single sign-on URL in Directory Server for a licensing site?  Currently it's using an internal FQDN and I would like to change it to an external one (same server, different FQDN).  Basically from laserfiche.local to laserfiche.domain.com.

 

Can this be done at all?  It works currently but causes mismatched SSL certificate warnings.

Ah, yes, I forgot about that check performed in Web Access; my apologies. Changing the URL shown in your screenshot of Directory Server is indeed unrelated.

I think you can do something similar to what you did for Forms fix it in Web Access (but not exactly the same steps). Try the following:

  1. Open C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Web Access\Web Files\Config\WebAccess.config in a text editor
  2. Find the "LFDSSettings" node
  3. To change the Single-Sign On address, modify the machine name part of the IssuerURL. For example, if you have https:_x002F__x002F_yourmachine.local_x002F_LFDSSTS_x002F_ you can change it to https:_x002F__x002F_yourmachine.yourDomain.com_x002F_LFDSSTS_x002F_

Note: instead of https://,  you will see something like https:_x002F__x002F_. Do NOT change the _x002F_ into /.

Are you just asking how to change that URL shown in the UI? If so, it's not currently configurable, but it should be used very infrequently and only by administrators looking to change settings.

If you are asking how to change the URL that all users get redirected to for SSO, that is indeed possible, but it is configured per product, like in Web Access or in Forms. If that's what you're looking for, let me know and I can provide more details.

Hey Brianna, well it's mostly for the second option - I did change it already for Forms from the steps you provided in another question but I haven't figured it out for Web Access.  When I tried to change it in Web Access configuration it tells me that it doesn't match the settings in Directory Server, which got me back to the question above (but perhaps it's unrelated).
