Infor Ming.le 12.x Automatic (Lawson passive authentication)

This procedure applies to Infor Smart Office 10.2.1.xx HF14 and later.

Lawson passive authentication requires users to authenticate through web browser or web browser control. Instead of sending credentials to the Smart Office server or the application servers, the user is redirected to an Identity Provider (IDP) where the actual authentication is performed. An Identity Provider is typically Active Directory Federated Service (ADFS). Another name for passive authentication is federated authentication.

Infor Ming.le 12.x or later must be installed and configured.
