Today, there are so many
applications, email, secure documents, partner web sites,
company Intranet sites, remote access dial-up networking
etc that require a user identifier and accompanying
password that users cannot remember each login credential.
So, they either write it all down in a book or stick
a post-it note on their screen or keep an identical
password for each application. Either way reduces security
but the user has no choice. Until now that is!
Single Sign On Plus (SSO Plus)
is an easy to use, flexible password management product.
It provides the user with the ability to access all
applications on their desktop using a single user ID
and password. After the user has logged onto their PC,
they can access password-protected applications on their
desktop without the need to enter any further credentials.
SSO Plus learns the logon credentials of each application
started on the user's desktop. When the application
is next started, SSO Plus will automatically enter the
required logon credentials. There is no need for users
to write down the logon credentials for each application;
no need for password synchronisation and it encourages
the use of strong passwords. SSO Plus reduces the administrative
workload incurred by resetting forgotten passwords and
increases productivity by removing the need for multiple
logons.

Increased Productivity
Once installed, SSO Plus makes the working day so much
simpler providing users with effective and seamless
access to their applications. There is no longer a need
to remember or write down the passwords for each application.
Ease of Deployment
A single file needs to be run on a workstation to install
the product. There is no central server to administer.
There are very few configuration parameters and if the
defaults are acceptable, no further input from the user
is needed. The tool is configured by default to work
with all supported application types (eg. FTP, TELNET,
Lotus iNotes and Internet Explorer applications.) It
will start learning passwords and working for the user
immediately (and on Windows 2000 and XP without the
workstation needing to be rebooted).
The process of learning passwords for new applications
is automatic. There is no need to run any tool to teach
SSO Plus about new applications and their passwords.
The user simply runs the application as normal, entering
his credentials where required. SSO Plus automatically
detects that a login has been performed and prompts
the user to see if future logins to that application
should be automated. If accepted, the application and
the user credentials are added to the SSO Plus database
for each time that the application is subsequently run.
Cross platform
compatibility
The same SSO Plus installation program will install
and work on all Windows platforms - 95, 98, NT, Me and
XP. Once installed, the administration and day-to-day
working practice is also the same throughout.
Flexible Administration
The end user performs the administration associated
with SSO Plus. This is very easy to use and for the
majority of administrative tasks is automatic. It empowers
users to manage their own SSO applications and reduce
the administrative overheads associated with multiple
passwords.
Users no longer need to write
down their passwords, as these are stored automatically
in the system. All managed passwords are stored in a
local, encrypted database, which is configured for either
DES or AES during installation. NT authentication is
still required to the desktop before the database can
be accessed.

The benefits gained from SSO Plus extend well
beyond the convenience to end users. Employee
productivity is boosted, with less time spent
logging into multiple applications, and security
is increased as users tend to memorize one password
instead of keeping a written list within close
proximity. Also, IT resources can be designated
to other projects as calls to the help desk to
reset forgotten passwords are eliminated.
