SAMSON Features
 

Samson offers the most complete list of features of any single sign on available today. This list highlights the extensive features available in Samson S3.

Samson utilizes a unique Policy Based Security system. Policies are defined to the Samson database. The server resolves the policy settings for a workstation each time a user authenticates to a workstation. The Samson server delivers the appropriate behavior to the client for presentation of the workstation. Different combinations of workstation and user identification may yield different behavior within the same organization. In this way the Samson S3 is a powerful but flexible tool that offers unprecedented capabilities.
