Novell has released a new version of its enterprise single sign-on (SSO) application SecureLogin 7, which it claims to reduce the time required to SSO-enable the applications in an organisation.
According to Novell, the SecureLogin 7 operates with Windows, web, Java and enterprise applications. In addition, with 64-bit support for Microsoft Vista and Microsoft Windows Server 2008, it delivers enhanced interoperability with existing platform and operating system investments.
Novell said that the SecureLogin is part of its Identity and Access Management offerings, which are used to automate business processes, mitigate security risks and lay the foundation for complying with internal security mandates and government regulations.
The company said that the SecureLogin provides security and protection with certified FIPS 140-2 compliant Microsoft Cryptographic API libraries and Triple DES algorithms for the encryption of sensitive user data. It also supports most types of smart card, token-based, and biometric authentication to deliver multi-factor security.
Jim Ebzery, senior vice president and general manager of identity and security at Novell, said: It is common for an employee to have many usernames and passwords to gain access to the resources needed to do their job. With Novell SecureLogin 7, we have helped companies realise the productivity and cost benefits of SSO by making it easier to SSO-enable an organisation’s entire ecosystem of applications and services.
