How to access?
When you try to connecto to a Windows machine by using Soffid ESSO, you need to enter your user and password in the Windows login page.
If the user does not exists in this machine, depending on the attribute "Create local accounts when there is no domain account" in Soffid ESSO configuration, a local user willl be created or not.
- If the network is connected, depending on the Soffid ESSO configuration, a 2FA may be required, or you will be logged in directly.
- If the network is not connected, also, depending on the Soffid ESSO configuration, you connect to the machine. When the network is re-established, Soffid ESSO will ask for your credentials again.
For more information about how to configure Soffid ESSO you can visit the ESSO profile page.
