# Shibboleth SP3 SSO

## Overview

Clients that are already using [Shibboleth Service Provider 3](https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SP3/Home) to manage resource access (such as services or applications) can quickly integrate with WorkflowGen by offering users Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication for a secure and seamless user experience.

For this, Shibboleth SP3 provides a native module for IIS 7 and later that passes user information to WorkflowGen via the `REMOTE_USER` environment variable.

The WorkflowGen website and web apps should have only the `Anonymous Authentication` method enabled under the IIS Manager Authentication feature page.

## Installation

For installation and configuration details, see the [Shibboleth SP3 IIS](https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SP3/IIS) documentation.
