# Allowing Single Sign-on from CTERA Portal

The CTERA Edge Filer user interface can be accessed by a logged in user from within the CTERA Portal user interface, without the user entering CTERA Edge Filer credentials. The user signed in to the CTERA Portal must be the same user as the CTERA Edge Filer user.

          **Note**

          

If single sign-on using CAC (Common Access Card) has been enabled for the CTERA Portal, the CTERA Edge Filer must connect to the CTERA Portal using an activation code instead of the user and password credentials. For details, contact CTERA support.

**To enable single sign-on to the CTERA Edge Filer:**

1. In the **Configuration** view, select **Cloud Services > Remote Access** in the navigation pane.  

The **Remote Access** page is displayed.
