The Fiery server supports the OpenID Connect protocol for cloud-based, Single-Sign-On (SSO) user authentication with Microsoft's Azure Active Directory (AAD). Users log in to the Fiery server using their existing AAD credentials.

The SSO authentication method supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). SSO helps establish the user's identity by verifying the necessary information. With SSO, users with the appropriate access can log in to the Fiery server without having to authenticate every time. SSO ensures a secure login because the Fiery server does not store any user passwords locally.

The Fiery server must not be connected to a proxy server. It must be directly connected to the internet. You must also ensure the availability of the internet and an active Microsoft Azure account.
