In a typical enterprise single sign-on scenario, users provide just one set of credentials to the single sign-on (SSO) system when they log in to the network. Then, that system pulls the appropriate user names and passwords from the directory and automatically presents them to various single sign-on enabled applications on the user’s behalf. This approach eliminates the “lowest common denominator” problem by making it possible to apply a different password policy to every system or application. This allows you to take full advantage of the strongest passwords each individual application can support.
SecureLogin from Novell comes with “out of the box” support for many of the most common applications in use today. It also has built in support from strong authentication methods such as smart cards and biometrics and therefore greatly improves security compliance goals within an organisation.
In summary Novell SecureLogin offers a remarkably quick Return On Investment (ROI) by solving some of the most expensive and frustrating by products of password security. Namely it can –
Significantly reduces password-related helpdesk calls
Simplifies the end user experience
