John,
1) SSO itself will not slow down the login process. Blocked traffic in
the unauthenticated role that inhibits GPOs/fileshares/etc will slow
down your login.
As for making it store credentials indefinitely, there have been some
people who want that and some who want the remember me option gone
totally for security reasons. There are feature requests opens on both I
think. Contact your account team and have them pile on to them.
2) Yes, you can make this disappear.
Device Management > Clean Access > Agent Login > drop down role (and OS
unless you are using the settings under ALL)
Setting is:
Automatically close login success screen after X secs.
Set it to zero to make it not pop up, set it to a couple seconds and it
will display a timer in the corner and close automatically.

As we continue to roll out CCA to our faculty/staff this year we here
suggestions about streamlining the login process. A professor pointed
out that the login process for Clean Access is several steps where the
Cisco VPN is quite a bit less obtrusive (from off campus)
Here were some thoughts that this professor had. If there are already
existing solutions for this please let me know. Otherwise maybe these
can be incorporated into future releases of the client.
1) When you first turn on your computer and the Clean Access Agent
prompts for your username and password can you make this automatically
populated so you just need to click next? I know clicking Remember Me
will make the username/password persist until you power off your
computer. (I know SSO would possibly be a solution here but I heard
this can actually slow down the login process. True statement?) What
about focusing context to the password field?
2) “Successfully logged into the Network” is this a valuable screen to
have. The Prof would prefer not to have to click OK and make the
screen go away. Would rather it just ‘disappear’ like the Cisco VPN
once it has done it’s job.
Profs e-mail:
My only complaint is having to hit "OK" when it's all done. If this is
something I'm going to have to do every day when starting up the
computer, at least the software could minimize the annoyance. Three
separate screens for this routine procedure is too much.
As an example of a "good" interface, I'd point to the Cisco VPN login.
It stores my login ID, and puts the cursor in the password box. As
soon as I type that and hit enter, it closes all windows and goes to work.
