An SSO assistant connector uses HTML forms to populate the authentication information. To create an SSO assistant connector, you must define the HTML form for the application.
The application or web service must support HTML forms.
For more information, see www.w3.org.
The connector supports user access to destination websites through web browsers running on a desktop or a laptop.
The MobileAccess app supports the secure retrieval and replay of stored credentials for websites that users access through the landing page on supported mobile devices.
