Identity Management and Single Sign On (SSO) are two faces of the same approach, which aims at controlling every user's access to corporate resources, while optimising their authentication methods.

Identity management is more than simply permitting a user to log on. It controls what resources that user can use and what he can do with them.

Identity Management

In identity and access management projects, it is critical to give users access to the applications and systems for which they have access rights. Companies are well aware of  the challenges this implies, which are:

• Offer a high level of authentication
• Automate user provisioning
• Reduce the cost of password management (password reset)
• Provide access management sanity and Single Sign On solutions

There is still a long way to an ideal identity management solution. However, as Navixia’s security experts are daily immersed in "real-life" problems, as opposed to theoretical issues, they bring in-depth knowledge in the key areas of identity management and provide a realistic and customized integration.

Single Sign On (SSO)

Being faced with multiple passwords is a headache for most employees. Single Sign-On (SSO) replaces all password with one authentication method. 

By combining multi-factor authentication with a plug-and-play Single Sign-On solution, you can replace all the passwords by a digital signature based on a certificate, smart card, USB key, or simply a fingerprint. Access to enterprise applications can be authorized according to corporate security policy, as defined through your LDAP directory. Main features are:

• Plug-and-play single sign-on
• Extended management of access rights
• Multi-factor strong authentication
• Smart card management
• Emergency access via primary password and PIN code reset
• Mobile E-SSO for employees
• Fast user switching
