Single Sign-On The solution for simplified login and improved protection

With Access Management solutions like Single Sign-On (SSO) the IT system login process is simplified. After a one time login the SSO takes over the login procedure on integrated applications. With password synchronisation, web-SSO or enterprise-SSO a simplified and secure login procedure can be extended to almost all applications in a business.

Web Single Sign-On

With Web Single Sign-On you have server side assurance that all your web applications require a password from the user only once, after which the user can use the applictions for a defined time period without entering a password. This way you increase productivity substantially, without having to modify your clients.

Enterprise Single Sign-On

Enterprise Single Sign-On contains a secure, central storage area in which the passwords of all users are saved. That way the users don't need to enter a password for every application they use. Unlike web-SSO this solution can be used with almost any application.
ESSP is frequently combined with Fast User Switching (FUS), which allows multiple users to share a computer and change users in a matter of seconds.

Passwort Management

A password manager allows for central resetting of passwords for one or multiple user accounts on systems and applications. A reset of an account in case of a lockout is possible as well. The user signs by answering the reset questions, by sms, or using the App, when he has forgotten his password. This way the ServiceDesk is relieved.

Use of Single Sign-On

The use of Single Sign-On solutions increases user comfort while improving secruity. The benefits of Single Sign-On:

Login free access to connected services and applications after a one time login
Reduction of passwords and time savings when logging in or searching for the right password
Reduction of user-helpdesk requests due to forgotten passwords
No written-down passwords result in a security increase
SSO enables the enforcing of strict passwort guidelines
