See technical article for details: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000128050 Integrated Windows Authentication Single Sign-On for Legal Hold Starting with 8.3 CHF2, Veritas eDiscovery Platform supports Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) SingleSign-On (SSO) for Legal Hold authentication. When IWA SSO is configured, the logged-in Windows credentials of the custodian are used for authentication, and the custodian is subsequently directed to the Legal Hold Confirmation page without the need to enter login credentials. To use the SSO option, LDAP must be configured and enabled against the Active Directory domain from which Windows users will be authenticating.

Header-Based Authentication Help
We are attempting to user header-based authentication for SSO purposes. The Admin Guide indicates which properties to set in order to enable this feature. However, there is no documentation on what attributes need to be passed from the reverse-proxy server or what a fully-qualifies string would look like. Anyone out ther sucessfully use header-based authentication in eDP 8.3 and above?
