Overview

In this Technology Audit, Butler Group reviews ActivIdentity Enterprise Single Sign On, a solution set that enables organizations to effectively combine Single Sign On (SSO) with strong security, providing end-users with secure access to almost any type of application without remembering individual passwords.

Application-specific passwords are now seen as constituting more of an efficiency problem than a security benefit, as they are a major cause of calls to an organization’s helpdesk. ActivIdentity ESSO provides multiple options to augment SSO with greater security and/or business value, via smartcard related functions, kiosk-style workstation sharing, self-service password reset, and integration with identity provisioning systems.

The solutions require a Windows client machine environment with a downloaded module running, and end-users’ identities are normally defined in a directory, so the solution is suitable for SSO needs within enterprises rather than in the consumer-facing Web at large. In this realm, ActivIdentity provides a leading solution that caters well for ongoing change, and incurs little commitment of technical management resources.

ActivIdentity Enterprise Single Sign On

ActivIdentity’s Enterprise Single Sign solutions simplify access to network resources for end users by using a single, secure login at a dedicated or shared workstation. This eliminates the users’ burden of remembering multiple passwords and enables organizations to achieve regulatory compliance and increase security while lowering help desk costs and improving productivity.
