You can set the environment variable SSO_ENABLED upon installation using one of two methods (depending on your environment variables).

  1. Use the following command in the helm command line:

    helm upgrade layar .layar --set SSO_ENABLED=TRUE ...

  2. In layar.config, add a line for the SSO_ENABLED variable

    SSO_ENABLED: true

After one of the two above methods enables SSO, start the application using the helm command.

Enable Automatic User Login

Additional configuration is required to enable automatic user login to the Certara.AI software platform. The following attributes should be added to the vyasa-connect-db pod in the settings table:

SSO_USERNAME_HEADER

The name of the header the reverse proxy will use to communicate

the user's username. Typically, the value for this field is REMOTE_USER

SSO_FULL_NAME_HEADER

The name of the header that will contain the Full Name of the user

SSO_EMAIL_HEADER

The name of the header from the reverse proxy that will contain the

email address of the user

SSO_WHITE_LIST

The IP Address (can be a comma-delimited list) of the reverse proxy
