| Universal Sign-On
| ||
| Organizations worldwide are moving their applications to the standard web platform today. However, a large number of legacy client/server applications continue to exist inside the organization. These age-old applications are often implemented in a distributed environment with proprietary application-specific security modules. Many of them use static ID and passwords to authenticate the users, implement different security policies and user management modules. Over time, organizations face tremendous challenges in managing these applications to meet changing security requirements and users' expectations such as conformance to enterprise password policy and request for single sign-on (SSO). |
USO Features
How Does USO Work?
|
|
|
USO supports the non-intrusive approach to achieve sign-on to multiple web and client-server applications without any software code changes to applications. USO was developed using the robust components of an AccessMatrix infrastructure supporting both web and client/server applications without requiring manual desktop configurations and software installations. By leveraging the robust, flexible and scalable AccessMatrix security server and the API tight integration approach, the USO loose coupling approach provides a complementary and comprehensive application security solution to meet the access control challenges of most organizations. Unlike other SSO products, which only support web-based applications, AccessMatrix is designed to meet the SSO challenge of both web-based and client/server applications. The USO server based single sign-on technology simplifies the deployment and implementation challenges for large enterprises. With USO technology, there is no manual software installation on each of the client desktops and application login information is stored centrally on the security server.
