Single sign-on
Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to sign in with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems. With single sign-on, if you are signed in to one of PTC’s applications, then you need not re-authenticate when you connect to another PTC application that you are authorized to access.
For example, a user who has signed in to PTC Arbortext Content Delivery (ACD) need not re-authenticate for ThingWorx.
