Setting up single sign-on authentication for devices

Using a single sign-on profile, you can enable 
BlackBerry 10
 devices and certain 
iOS
 devices to authenticate automatically with domains and web services in your organization’s network. After you assign a single sign-on profile, the user is prompted for a username and password the first time they try to access a secure domain that you specified. The login information is saved on the user’s device and used automatically when the user tries to access any of the secure domains specified in the profile. When the user changes the password, the user is prompted the next time they try to access a secure domain.
You can also use a single sign-on profile to specify trusted domains for certificates that you send to 
BlackBerry 10
 devices using a SCEP profile. Once you specify trusted domains, 
BlackBerry 10
 users can select the required certificates when they access a trusted domain.
