Enterprise Single Sign On Identity management for web applications
What is Single Sign On • Single sign-on (SSO) is a mechanism whereby a single action of user authentication and authorization can permit a user to access all computers and systems where he has access permission, without the need to enter multiple passwords
SSO with Web Booster • Authenticates with Microsoft Windows, creates access tokens for other systems • Users logged in to their workstation can auto-login to web applications
Benefits to Users • Only have one username and password to remember • No more post-it! notes on monitor with account details • Fast • Seamless • Works with BlackBerry handheld devices
Benefits to Operations Staff • Central user account management • Common way to manage accounts • Web Booster ESSO is quick to deploy • No changes to existing servers • No more post-it! notes ;-)
Security • Choose between NTLM or Kerberos authentication • All data is encrypted and verified against Windows Domain Controllers or KDC servers • Traffic to browser may be SSL encrypted
Built on Web Booster • Get all existing Booster features • Content compression • Clustering • Load sharing • Dynamic failover • …plus much more
Considerations • Need to ensure workstations are not compromised or left unattended • Windows Domain structure may need to be rationalized for NTLM to work correctly • Need to identify weak spots in infrastructure to avoid single failure points, eg: LDAP
NTLM vs Kerberos • NTLM more widely supported in older versions of Windows (pre win2K) • NTLM is easier to configure initially • Kerberos is more secure • Kerberos is not tied to Windows
Requirements • Windows workstations • Windows domain • Lotus Domino and/or IBM WebSphere servers (more coming soon)
