Tools4ever's single sign on now features access card integration

Friday, December 16, 2011

Tools4ever has released the latest version of its single sign-on solution, E-SSOM, with new features including support for two-factor authentication and integration with access card systems.

These new features provide the primary login for single sign-on with additional security through the use of an access, smart card with a PIN code. Users can login by holding their access card against a card reader and entering a unique code, as opposed to the traditional single combination of a user name and password.


E-SSOM offers end-to-end integration with all common readers for two-factor authentication, including HID, UziPas, Mifare, Biometrie, Gridtoken, Proximity Based Devices and RFID. The identity and access management software offers native integration with the card reader’s driver software and links the access card ID to the user’s credentials in Active Directory. No additional software is required to create this link.

E-SSOM also offers self service registration, enabling the end user to perform the registration process, which results in a reduction of the workload on the central smart cards issuing point. [end]
