Web Identity Management with Single Sign-On (SSO)

      


ACCOUNT GENEOUS-SSO: The SSO module enables the enterprise to fully leverage the benefit of the Account Geneous solution and provides users with true single signon (aka single sign-on, SSO, single login, single logon) with a single userid and password. Account Geneous-SSO is designed to take advantage of the Account Geneous infrastructure in order to minimise the overhead normally associated with a SSO implementation from other vendors. This module may be installed as an additional option when implementing Account Geneous.

ACCOUNT GENEOUS (AG) enables the enterprise to provision and manage user accounts and id’s with efficiency and enhanced security, without the difficult and costly implementation associated with products from other leading vendors. ACCOUNT GENEOUS gives you the possibility of a centralized Provisioning over your company’s heterogeneous range of systems. It is an “out-of-the box” web based solution that usually needs only minor adaptations or customisation. It provides significantly better value than the systems from many other provisioning companies as it may be quickly and easily implemented with a minimum of additional services or consultancy. A multi-platform environment has been available for several years and includes native support for a number of UNIX platforms, OpenVMS and Windows. Geneous has continued to add additional platforms and more international companies have recognised the advantages of the product for in house solutions as well as for managed outsourced tasks and implemented accordingly.

ACCOUNT GENEOUS is a strong tool for provisioning and User Account Management. It has a built-in security, encryption, access and audit controls that protect your systems. It includes the ability to alter, revoke, resume and delete users as well as profiles for access control and domains for splitting access rights.

With the ACCOUNT GENEOUS powerful report generator, it is easy to analyse account activity across multiple platforms. You can quickly identify control management “use and abuse” maintenance issues that may leave your systems vulnerable - such as full-privileged inactive accounts. Reports can be viewed online, or easily exported. The Report Manager gives exact information for a given time about “who did what to whom” in creation, deletion, enabling, disabling etc. These reports provide a valuable base for backing up, services rendered, billing department etc.


GENEOUS SOFTWARE provides Identity Management (IdM and IAM) solutions to increase enterprise security with enhanced access control and improved efficiency. Authentication, role and rule based access control (RBAC), database and directory integration and reduction in helpdesk calls are all provided with the implementation of GENEOUS solutions. The ability to implement the solutions quickly in order to provide a rapid return on investment (ROI) is a fundamental part of the GENEOUS design. The scalability and ROI provided by Geneous solutions makes them ideal for enterprises from a few hundred employees to tens of thousands.
