OneSign: A Non-Intrusive SSO Appliance

OneSign: A Non-Intrusive SSO Appliance

OneSign is a non-intrusive SSO appliance. The client- or desktop-based OneSign Agent and Imprivata Secure eXchange (ISX) technology require no changes to applications or user directories. OneSign communicates with any combination of user directories and runs seamlessly on the existing network. The OneSign network communication is secure, lightweight, and exception-based. OneSign utilizes a standard Web Services architecture and does not impact network performance. The pair of 1U rack-mounted devices (redundant unit) requires nothing extra to buy or install.

Single Sign-On (SSO) technology isn’t new, but existing solutions have been expensive, time consuming, and rarely live up to expectations. But Imprivata OneSign delivers a better choice. Ours is the SSO solution that uses breakthrough technology to help organizations benefit from increased user productivity and reduced password management costs by enabling SSO for all your enterprise applications. It’s radically easy, simply smart, and uniquely affordable—and it delivers on one very important promise almost immediately: rapid return on your investment.

OneSign is the SSO appliance that makes password management simple for IT and end users alike. OneSign is an easy SSO choice because it:

• SSO enables all your enterprise applications—legacy, client/server, or Web-based—out of the box
• Eliminates the need for custom scripting — there’s no connectors to build, and no long and expensive custom integration projects to manage
• Includes an intuitive, easy-to-navigate, Web-based interface that makes single sign-on easy to install, configure, and deploy (in a matter of days, you can fully SSO-enable your entire organization)
• Automates updating by recognizing when new versions, application SSO profiles, or user security policies are added or changed
• Simplifies sign on: Just log on to your applications as always—there’s no training or modifications needed to your desktop environment

OneSign takes the work out of SSO by automating redundant tasks. OneSign is the smart choice in SSO because it:

• Decreases costly helpdesk calls associated with user password resets
• Includes built-in support for various authentication methods such as passwords, ID tokens, active or passive proximity cards, smart cards, and finger biometrics
• Provides insight into which users accessed which applications and when, including all password change activity
• Detailed access logs and reports give organizations the ability to refine and strengthen security policies and enforce regulatory compliance across all applications
• Scales to handle environments with an unlimited number of users in a multisite enterprise, users can change locations and receive the same single sign-on and authentication management services throughout the enterprise
• Performs password changes automatically on behalf of the users, ensuring stricter security while eliminating security breaches associated with passwords written on sticky notes or hidden under keyboards

OneSign delivers a low cost of ownership and immediate ROI. How? Short implementation time. Quick user adoption. Reduced helpdesk costs. OneSign is the affordable SSO appliance that:

• Delivers all the functionality needed to effectively implement and manage SSO in one SSO appliance--there is nothing else to buy and no custom scripting or costly integration
• Reduces time needed to make changes to policy, applications, or user profiles—modifications can be administered and transparently applied in a matter of minutes from the administrator’s console
• Increases productivity and reduces helpdesk and password reset calls
