SAMSON
Software users and administrators are facing growing complexity
in accessing and managing their applications. An increasing number
of applications require strong user authentication, but no single
standard authentication mechanism exists. Adding to the confusion
are new privacy requirements imposed by legislation such as the
Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act (HIPAA) and Graham-Leachy-Bliley
(GLB).
Samson helps both software users and administrators by offering
flexible single sign-on capabilities and desktop control features:
| |
 |
A single authentication to the workstation enables access
to all the user's applications without further authentication.
|
| |
|
Web-based administration tools allows administrators to control
access to applications as well as to other desktop controls
such as the Windows "Start" button and "Network
Neighborhood"
|
| |
|
Allows "shared" multi-user workstations with individual
sessions for each user
|
| |
|
Provides screen saver and user lockout functionality
|
| |
|
Supports multiple password or biometric authentication mechanisms
(fingerprint, iris scan, etc.)
|
| |
|
Reduces password related support costs by centralizing control
of user IDs, application dialogs, access paths and preoffered
"credentials forwarding"
|
| |
|
Open-standards based architecture enables easy integration
into existing infrastructure
