Enterprise Edition - Single Sign-On (SSO)

Applications Manager's Enterprise Edition supports Single sign-on (SSO) - a mechanism which offers a user unified access i.e users do not have to actively enter their credentials more than once in order to access multiple independent installations (your Admin Server and Managed Servers). Users gain access to all their Managed Servers with a single user authentication into the Admin Server eliminating further prompts when they switch applications during a particular session.

Benefits:

• Security - Capability to implement consistent authentication and authorization guidelines across your enterprise.

• Resource savings - Reducing time spent re-entering passwords for the same identity or profile and central access management.

• User Experience - Ability to move between services and portals securely and seamlessly without password prompts.
