SSO for Linux and Mac users, setup guidance for multiple users.

Hello MATLAB Community,

I’m reaching out to understand the implications of MATLAB’s transition from traditional license servers to Single Sign-On (SSO) for Linux and Mac users.

1. How will this transition impact users on Linux and Mac systems? Are there specific considerations or additional steps required for these platforms to ensure continued access and functionality?
2. Could someone provide guidance on how to set up MATLAB SSO for multiple users on Linux and Mac systems within a business or educational institution? Any best practices or detailed instructions for managing SSO for a larger group across these operating systems would be very helpful.

Any detailed information or guidance on these topics would be greatly appreciated.

Hey @Mario,

The transitioning to Single Sign-On (SSO) would impact the users on Linux and Mac Systems as this would improve the security and compliance. This would also improve the user experience as the users do not need to remember multiple passwords to access MathWorks products. There would be no additional configuration required, unless the access is denied to some users.

For more guidance about the transition from traditional license servers to Single Sign-On (SSO), please refer to the following MATLAB Answers post : https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1982529-where-can-i-find-details-about-the-campus-wide-license-sso-transition-and-do-i-need-to-perform-any-a

I hope this helps!
