IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On, Version 8.2

Mozilla Firefox interferes with the AccessAgent single sign-on feature

When you use Mozilla Firefox to log on to an application, Mozilla Firefox and AccessAgent both display a form to save the password.

By default, the Remember passwords for sites option is enabled in Mozilla Firefox. This feature captures your password so that every time you log on to a Web site, your password is automatically entered. When AccessAgent captures your logon credentials, Mozilla Firefox also displays another form to save the password.

During the AccessAgent installation, the installer automatically disables the Remember passwords for sites option in Mozilla Firefox. However, if you have not yet logged on to the Windows desktop and have not yet used Mozilla Firefox before, manually disable this option.

To disable this feature in Mozilla Firefox:

Launch the Mozilla Firefox.
Navigate to Tools > Options > Security > Passwords.
Clear the Remember passwords for sites check box.

Alternately, go to C:\Program Files\IBM\ISAM ESSO\AA folder on your machine and double-click InstallFirefoxXpCom.vbs.
