When using SSO with ACT, the -U and -w options are not used, because the username and password are passed directly to the host via SSO. Also, when using SSO, you should specify a fully qualified hostname using the -h option, as in the example: <hostname>.<domain>.<com|org etc>. If only the hostname is used, ACT will append the local domain name before attempting to look up the host. Using an IP address with -h is not supported with SSO.

The following is an example of a configuration file that uses SSO:

# ACT configuration file example
# Contains settings for connecting securely to a specific host and database
host: saturn.asterdata.com
dbname: sampledb
username: sampleuser
# SSL settings
enable-ssl: true
ssl-self-signed-peer: true
# SSO settings
enable-sso: true
