# Configure domain single sign-on (SSO)

{% hint style="info" %}
The machine hosting Devolutions Server must be joined to the [configured domain](https://docs.devolutions.net/server/web-interface/administration/configuration/server-settings/general/authentication/domain/) for domain single sign-on (SSO) to work.
{% endhint %}
