-Many enterprises today are looking to implement a single-sign on (SSO) solution that enables their users to easily access all of their cloud and web applications. A key requirement of these solutions is Active Directory integration, which makes it possible to connect cloud applications back to a single source of truth, Active Directory. HPE GreenLake Cloud Platform (GLCP) supports Single Sign On (SSO)
+Enterprises looking to use HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise can benefit from the use of SSO, as it has been integrated onto the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, which supports single sign-on
