Single sign-on (SSO) and Multi-factor (MF) authentication
Beginning with version 17.1 version, the StarTeam GIT client supports logging into the StarTeam server using Single sign-on/Multi-factor authentication.
When SSO is enabled on the server, by default, the StarTeam GIT client redirects users to the system default browser, in order to complete the authentication steps for the configured SSO/MF.
After the authentication is successful, the user is logged into the StarTeam server and the git command operation continues. The SSO session is valid for some time on the client machine, so users do not need to log in multiple times. All GIT server commands, clone, push. pull, and fetch, support SSO/MFA authentication.
To disable SSO authentication on the StarTeam GIT client, run the clone command with the disableSSOAuthentication configuration option set to true as follows:
C:\gitdemo\Sample>git clone "starteam://localhost:49201/Demo” -c “git-st.server.disableSSOAuthentication=true”
