Novell's Feature-rich Single Sign-on Solution offers Advances to Address Compliance Mandates

(Nov 12, 2007)-- Novell announced enhancements to its single sign-on solution, including support for Windows Vista, improved authentication capabilities, easier administration and expanded applications support. An integral part of Novell's portfolio of identity and security management solutions, Novell SecureLogin is the industry's most scalable and comprehensive enterprise single sign-on solution, featuring advanced security capabilities to help customers meet compliance mandates for multi-factor authentication, automate and simplify password management and lower IT administration costs.

"Enterprise single sign-on is a robust and mature industry," said Sally Hudson, research director at IDC. "Vendors that can provide multiple features, easy integration with a variety of applications, support the most popular operating systems and address strong authentication methods, clearly have an advantage."

The industry's most feature-rich enterprise single sign-on solution, Novell SecureLogin provides users with easy access to network and Web resources, using a single, secure login. It is easy to install as it works with existing directories and can be deployed in less than 10 minutes. When deployed with Novell Identity Manager, Novell Access Manager and Novell Sentinel, Novell SecureLogin gives enterprise customers a complete, integrated identity and security management stack for supporting IT compliance, risk management and governance requirements.

To help organizations comply with new regulations, such as Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidelines for online banking that require more than one factor of authentication, SecureLogin enables integration with smart cards, biometrics and proximity cards in conjunction with user names and passwords.

"Providing a single sign-on solution strengthens our HIPAA compliance because we can track how and when users are accessing our clinical systems," said Patricia Duty, desktop manager at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. "With Novell SecureLogin, users can also access applications easily and securely while working from home."
