What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Rating:
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a system capability that enables users to access a number of applications without having to log on and/or provide a password to each application. In SSO, a user can access all computer applications and systems where he has access permission without entering multiple passwords. This reduces human error and systems failure and is therefore highly desirable. There are many commercial SSO solutions available in the market. Some of them are as follows:
- Central Authentication Service (CAS)
- The Dutch NREN
- CoSign
- Enterprise Single Sign-On (E-SSO)
- Web Single Sign-On (Web SSO)
- Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
- Direct SSO
- Shibboleth
