v-GO Single Sign-On is the leading Enterprise Single Sign-On solution with more than 10 million licenses sold. With Passlogix 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 Passlogix 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 Passlogix 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. Passlogix 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.
How Passlogix Single Sign On Works
Passlogix Single Sign-On's patented technology intelligently detects and responds to logon and password change prompts for virtually all applications by looking for each application prompt's unique attributes. Because it doesn't requiring any programming, scripting or integration with your applications, you can start reaping the benefits of single sign-on in weeks - not months.
When it comes to single sign-on, v-GO Single Sign-On is the proven solution for hundreds of customers with thousands of applications.
Benefits of Passlogix SSO
Speed Access
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. With v-GO Single Sign-On, users authenticate once, and v-GO Single Sign-On does the rest. It automatically injects passwords into all subsequent logon prompts and automates all password related activities saving users valuable time.
Improve Security and Compliance Posture
Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-On enforces strict password policies and eliminates the tendency of employees to write their passwords down on sticky notes or store them in their PDA. Weak and forgettable passwords and password sharing are a thing of the past with v-GO Single Sign-On managing and remembering the strongest possible passwords for each application, ensuring secure access every time. Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-On delivers universal single sign-on for all of your Windows., Web, Java, Unix Telnet, in-house developed, and host-based applications, providing your users with secure and reliable access without having to remember numerous passwords.
Because v-GO Single Sign-On enforces strict password policies, eliminates the tendency of employees to write their passwords down on sticky notes or store them in their PDA, and prevents password sharing, organizations can better comply with regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements governing data security.
Significantly Reduce Time to Deploy Identity Management System (IDM)
v-GO Single Sign-On's Account Reconciliation feature significantly cuts the time it takes to reconcile UserIDs to their rightful owners, a critical first step in deploying provisioning systems. Taking advantage of our leading single sign-on technology,Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-On's Account Reconciliation feature harvests all account IDs and passwords from users and provisioning sources during the normal course of logging on to applications. Because the owner is known at the time of id/password capture, these account IDs are automatically and correctly correlated to their rightful owners.
This unique and streamlined approach eliminates the need to create scripts or deploy stand alone UserID correlation/pattern recognition software, which are inherently incomplete and inaccurate. Compliance and security risks are dramatically reduced and enterprises more quickly reap the benefits of Identity Management systems.
Achieve Quick ROI
Organizations can achieve a compelling ROI with v-GO Single Sign-On. By managing all users passwords on their behalf, v-GO Single Sign-On significantly reduces help desk costs and enables you to recover productivity lost to chasing down forgotten passwords and wrestling with complex, inefficient security protocols.
