Enterprise Single Sign-On (ESSO)

System and Application Access for Users within the Enterprise

Enterprises have thousands of users and the amount of time and effort a typical user spends searching for passwords or calling the help desk to resolve password-related issues can be time better spent.

In most organizations, employees must remember from 5 to 30 passwords and are required to change some of them as frequently as every 30 days. Users resort to "sticky note" passwords or keeping passwords in an unsecured file.

Complying with password policies is another challenge users and administrators face. Rules and policies differ by application. With no practical approach to enforce password policies across multiple, disparate applications, administrators must manage and audit each application separately. Security and compliance posture are jeopardized.

Solution

With v-GO Single Sign-On, users gain quick, secure application access required to do their jobs effectively. Employees authenticate once with a single network logon and v-GO Single Sign-On does the rest. It automates every password management task for the end-user, including password selection, logon, password change, and logoff.

With v-GO Single Sign-On, users no longer need to remember and manage multiple users IDs and passwords. v-GO Single Sign-On can enforce strict password policies, eliminate the tendency of employees to write their passwords down on sticky notes or store them in their PDA, and prevent password sharing. Weak and forgettable passwords are a thing of the past with v-GO Single Sign-On generating and remembering the strongest possible passwords for each application.

Administrators can easily deploy v-GO Single Sign-On into their existing infrastructure without integration or a large deployment effort. v-GO Single Sign-On can use virtually any LDAP directory, Active Directory or any SQL database server as its user profile and credential repository. v-GO Single Sign-On can accept primary authentication directly from the Windows logon and it works with most industry-leading smart cards, proximity cards, biometrics and token solutions.
