Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite provides users with unified sign-on and authentication across all their enterprise resources, including client-server, custom, and host-based mainframe applications.
The purpose of integrating Authasas Advanced Authentication with Oracle ESSO-LM is to replace the Windows password which protects all ESSO-LM managed credentials with several authentication methods that are both secure and easy to use. Such methods include, biometric fingerprint, PKI and non-PKI smart cards, contactless smart cards, and even Flash drive + PIN technologies. ESSO-LM will leverage the new strong authentication method(s) for initial authentication, as well as for any subsequent authentication required by a single sign-on secure workflow, or when configured for re-authentication to an SSO-enabled application.
Authasas® integrates with Oracle® ESSO Logon Manager through client-side interfaces; this integration strategy provides the most flexible and minimally invasive method to a combined strong authentication single sign-on deployment. Localizing authentication requests to the client-side SSO solution, allows both Logon Manager and Authasas® infrastructures to deploy and scale infinitely.
Adding, removing, and modifying strong authentication methods (i.e. biometric, smart card, contactless card, etc.) within Authasas Advanced Authentication® require no change to Oracle® ESSO-LM or the integration between both solutions. Further, multiple authentication methods may be deployed simultaneously with no modification to the Authasas® or ESSO-LM infrastructure. This allows one group of users, or one group of computers to authenticate via biometrics, while another group of users or computers authenticate using contactless smart cards.
The authentication solution delivered by the partnership between Oracle® and Authasas® delivers a highly usable authentication solution that scales to fit networks of all sizes. By providing multiple options for logon behavior and support for contact and contactless cards as well as biometric matching, the combined solution may be tailored to suit the unique requirements of each organization.
