OneSign®
Single Sign-On (SSO)

A Single Password. A Saner Workplace.

It’s a fact that no employee will dispute: passwords equal huge headaches - causing user frustration and hindering productivity – not to mention the burden on the IT Help Desk for password resets. Employees, while trying to keep pace with password policy, jot passwords on sticky notes, attach them to monitors or under keyboards – ironically creating significant security vulnerabilities and risk — quite simply, what the password policy was meant to negate.

Fortunately, creating secure and easy user access no longer is at odds with employee productivity and can be effectively managed as part of your security initiatives. Introducing Imprivata OneSign Single Sign-On (SSO), the easy, smart and affordable solution for password management.


Radically Easy.
OneSign® Single Sign-On provides a solution that is radically easy to implement - streamlining and tightening security without requiring any scripting, modifications to existing directories or applications, or inconvenient changes to end-user workflow. OneSign SSO enables convenient access to any and all enterprise applications efficiently and easily.


Simply Smart.
OneSign Single Sign-On has been designed to be smart enough to do much of the work for you, easily integrating with all types of applications – legacy (terminal emulators, telnet), client/server, JAVA, and Web – as well as a multitude of strong authentication options; automating redundant tasks, monitoring access, and helping you track, trace and report across a highly distributed enterprise.


Uniquely Affordable.
OneSign Single Sign-On is purpose-built for flexible and rapid enterprise deployment. Imprivata’s appliance-based approach dramatically minimizes implementation time, infrastructure needs, and installation costs – accelerating your return on investment and lowering your ongoing support costs.

What’s Inside The Box


Rapid Single Sign-On Enablement To All Your Applications
The OneSign Application Profile Generator is a patent pending technology that provides administrators with an easy-to-use, drag-n-drop interface that profiles all of an application’s sign-on behaviors and dynamics to enable single sign-on for all enterprise applications, including even the most challenging applications. Single sign-on enablement is rapid, and does not require any scripting or modification of existing application code.


Built-in Support for Multiple Strong Authentication Options
The capabilities of OneSign Authentication Management are automatically available with OneSign SSO, providing native support for a broad range of authentication options such as passwords, ID tokens, active or passive proximity cards, Windows smart cards, national ID smart cards, USB tokens and finger biometrics – increasing security while leveraging the convenience of single sign-on.


Compliance Reporting - Trace, Track and Reporting Capabilities at Your Fingertips
OneSign SSO records all application access events in a centralized database, even down to the application screen level. At the push of a button, administrators can run any number of pre-structured reports, including a report to see which users are sharing passwords.


Citrix Application Support
OneSign Single Sign-On provides support for all Citrix or Terminal Services-hosted applications, without a OneSign agent on the user’s workstation. In addition, OneSign SSO can automatically roam the user’s Citrix or Terminal Services session when they log into OneSign, and automatically lock the desktop of the user’s previous workstation when they roam to a different workstation.

Self-Service Password Reset
A convenient and secure process for users to reset their primary domain password alleviates burdensome and costly calls to the IT Help Desk for password reset while helping swiftly return users to productivity.

Shared Workstations & Fast User Switching
OneSign SSO offers various workflow solutions for shared workstations including fast user switching between multiple, concurrent Windows desktops, as well as secure fast user switching on top of a generic Windows desktop. Workstation security and data privacy are increased with configurable “hot key” locking and inactivity lock/logoff policies.


Automated Password Changes
For maximum application security, OneSign SSO can automatically generate strong, randomized passwords on behalf of end users during the application password change process. Thus eliminating the need for users to be aware of password reset events.


User Provisioning Interface
Third party provisioning systems can provision and de-provision users and application credentials within OneSign SSO, eliminating the need to distribute application passwords to end-users.


Extend Single Sign-On Benefits to Non-Domain Users
Extend single sign-on benefits to users who do not exist in the organization’s corporate directory, such as temporary workers and partners.
