Single Sign On enhances the user experience, while at the same time making your other web-sites more available to your customers, promoting cross-site exposure. The user can access multiple applications on different platforms, even on different web sites. This is achieved by requiring the user to Sign On once only and thereafter having access to all web-sites under the SSO-52 security umbrella. All the users details (privileges/preferences) are made available to the different applications and thus, the user gets a personalized experience of the site, while resource and application restrictions are maintained centrally.
To secure an e-business web site, the administrator creates a set of policies that designate the protection for given resources and applications. The individual policies dictate who can access given resources and what level of Authentication is required. With disparate web sites, policy and authentication information needs to be maintained in a form for access by multiple applications, running in multiple environments. Developing proprietary authentication and authorisation services for each application is costly.
SSO-52 eliminates this requirement, providing the administrator with the ability to centrally manage this authentication and policy information. This is all handled in the policy server and is available to all applications managed by SSO-52. In addition, new applications can quickly leverage off the existing user base of the businesses other web sites, with no need to create proprietary access/privilege systems and user directories for each application.
The SSO-52 access control provides companies with a variety of new cross-selling opportunities. This is achieved through personalized presentation of information at all of the associated sites. SSO-52 is easily deployed to protect partners' web sites.
