UMS as Identity Broker with IGEL OS 12

You can use the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) as identity broker for IGEL OS 12 devices. With this configuration, the user can log in to the IGEL OS device using the company Active Directory (AD) credentials even if they are outside of the company network. The device then reaches out to the UMS and authenticates through the UMS itself.

For details on how to configure the UMS as Identity Broker, see How to Configure IGEL UMS As Identity Broker .

The user can change the AD password from the IGEL OS 12 device, as described in Change Password in IGEL OS 12 .

This authentication method can also be used for SSO, for example, in an IGEL Remote Desktop session. For details, see Configuration of IGEL Remote Desktop on IGEL OS .
