SecureAuth IEP
Desktop SSO Services

Secure, Simple Sign-on From the Desktop to Web, Cloud and VPN Resources

While many businesses are reaping the benefits of using web and cloud-based applications, users are struggling to track and maintain passwords for these applications. And passwords alone are vulnerable to attack which puts business information at risk. Unfortunately enterprises have struggled for years to combine strong authentication and a SSO experience that enables users to sign on once using a network or desktop login and then access multiple applications without additional logins. Why? Traditional approaches typically utilize APIs and require complex integration. In addition to the integration effort, administrators have to manage and audit each application separately because password policies differ by application.

SecureAuth Delivers Secure, SSO from the Desktop to the Cloud in One Comprehensive Solution

SecureAuth is an Identity Enforcement Platform (IEP) that secures and simplifies access to cloud, web and VPN resources with integrated 2-Factor Authentication, SSO, Access and User Management Services. SecureAuth SSO minimizes the number of passwords your users have to remember by providing a single logon from your users’ desktop to all on-premise web and cloud-based applications. From an administrative perspective, it is simple because no APIs or application modifications are required. SecureAuth SSO utilizes Microsoft’s domain logon technology to transfer a user’s identity securely from the desktop sign on to the browser utilizing Microsoft IWA. SecureAuth takes the user’s IWA logon and transfers the identity to a web identity which is then used for both on-premise web and cloud applications – all transparent to the user.

With SecureAuth SSO, users don’t have to remember separate passwords and administrators aren’t flooded with calls to reset forgotten passwords. When strong authentication is required, you can easily add this to the SSO experience and the same credentials are used to support web, desktop and VPN resources. Furthermore, all credentials are securely stored on-premise in Microsoft Active Directory or other industry leading directories.

SecureAuth Highlights for Desktop SSO

• Secure, SSO ensures user adoption of web and cloud-based applications and reduces burden on IT.
• Fully implemented within days, not weeks or months.
• Minimizes the number of passwords and password-related help desk calls.
• Optional authentication (Certificate, SMS, Telephony, Username/Password) is configurable to map the right level of authentication based on user group, applications accessed, and security policies.
• SSO, audit reporting, and optional strong authentication for cloud applications support compliance requirements including FFIEC, NCUA, PCI DSS, and Sarbanes-Oxley.
• Audit Trial of all user log-ons regardless of where the application is hosted reduces audit-failure.
• User friendly self-registration reduces administrative overhead and help desk calls
• Automatically provision and authenticate users from a local Active Directory or other enterprise data store.
• Only purchase one product to secure and simplify access to all cloud, web and VPN resources.

SecureAuth SSO for desktop to cloud applications is one of many functions of the SecureAuth Identity Enforcement Platform which provides SSO, plus Identity Enforcement, access and user management services in a single solution.
