WHAT IS SSO?



Single sign-on (SSO) allows a user to sign on with one set of credentials and
gain access to multiple applications and services. SSO increases security and
provides a better user experience for customers, employees and partners by
reducing the number of required accounts/passwords for all the apps and services
they need.

 

Learn More About SSO

Learn More About SSO



BENEFITS OF SSO FOR MY BUSINESS


BETTER SECURITY




By making a range of resources accessible to end users with just one set of
login credentials, you can reduce the volume of passwords and credentials—a
highly targeted area for cyberattacks—while increasing their strength overall. 






IMPROVED USER SATISFACTION




SSO gives your users the ability to log in just one time and be granted seamless
access to all the right applications. This means you can deliver the experience
your employees and customers expect while also strengthening your security.






LOWER IT COSTS




A high volume of user credentials across cloud applications and on-premises
networks means more password reset requests and greater security risks. SSO
reduces the volume of password reset calls—lowering the cost of user
administration and potential data breaches.

 




Customer Engagement Starts with SSO


WHAT CAPABILITIES DOES PING SSO OFFER?

Ping's SSO solution enables:

Identity federation icon






EASILY CONFIGURABLE SSO AND IDENTITY FEDERATION



registration icon






REGISTRATION, PROFILE MANAGEMENT AND PASSWORD RESET



Authentication method icon






ADAPTIVE AUTHENTICATION POLICIES



Social media icon






SOCIAL LOGIN AND ACCOUNT LINKING





HOW DOES SSO WORK?


CENTRALIZED AUTHENTICATION




Single sign-on (SSO) is made possible by a centralized authentication service
that all apps—even third-party apps—can use to confirm a user’s identity.






TOKEN-BASED PERMISSIONS




Identity standards like SAML, OAuth and OpenID Connect allow for encrypted
tokens to be transmitted securely between the server and the apps.






ACCESS TO EVERYTHING




Ping’s SSO capabilities serve as a global authentication authority that allows
any user to securely access all the applications they need from any device.







SSO VS. FEDERATED SSO: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Federated SSO is a more advanced version of single sign-on (SSO). Federated SSO
means your end users need just one strong password to gain access to all the
right SaaS applications and resources, whether the asset is owned by your
enterprise or a third party. Yet, while federated SSO automatically enables SSO,
SSO alone does not have all the capabilities of federated SSO.

Learn More About SSO vs. Federated SSO




THE UNPARALLELED FLEXIBILITY OF FEDERATED SSO

Ping’s federated SSO solution is designed to integrate with a range of identity
providers and third-party applications old and new, all while supporting current
and past versions of identity standards like OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML and
WS-Federation.

 

This flexibility enables our customers to:


Hybrid cloud icon





Meet today’s security and authentication needs whether on-premises or in the
cloud



Interoperability icon





Ensure interoperability between unique identity systems, web resources,
organizations and vendors



Identity architecture icon





Build a secure, future-proofed identity architecture that stands the test of
time



5 Ways to Know if You Need Federated SSO

5 Ways to Know if You Need Federated SSO



WHAT IS SAML-ENABLED FEDERATED SSO?



Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is the most common protocol used to
enable federated SSO deployments across large enterprises and government
agencies. That’s why Ping’s own enterprise federation server has been
extensively tested for interoperability against a number of other SAML
implementations.

 

A SAML-certified product can mean the difference between a simple two-hour
configuration and QA or a costly, multi-month distributed debugging nightmare.

ENABLE SSO ACROSS IT APPLICATIONS, OLD AND NEW



Many enterprises have legacy applications with proprietary identity flows and
authentication protocols, or they have systems built before modern identity
standards were developed.

 

Ping’s SSO capabilities serve as a bridge across these applications, allowing
companies to securely connect their customers and employees to these older
applications via SSO in addition to newer applications such as Salesforce or
Office 365.

FAST AND SIMPLE SSO INTEGRATIONS

Out-of-the-box integrations make it simpler to provide SSO to your existing
third-party applications like Office 365 and web technologies like Apache and
Java. You’ll have SSO access to your applications (even the hard-to-integrate
internal applications) in hours or days, not weeks or months.

SSO Integration Highlights




Customer Spotlight:


VSP VISION CARE SEES SATISFACTION SOAR WHEN CLIENTS USE SINGLE SIGN-ON

VSP liked the way that Ping Identity enabled them to use established social
identities to register and connect users to portal apps. Ping Identity offers
Cloud Identity Connectors that can be set up easily. Plus, Ping Identity
eliminated all the barriers on the VSP side to offer SSO access to every web
portal.

SSO FAQs


WHAT IS AN SSO TOKEN?

When using SSO, an access token is used in place of a username and password to
sign in to an application. An access token contains encrypted bits of data that
confirm the user's identity and privileges.




IS SSO SECURE?

Yes. SSO offers a secure way for users to access multiple related applications
without having to re-enter their credentials every time. This reduces the number
of opportunities for a bad actor to take advantage of a compromised password
since each user only has to sign on once. SSO systems also exchange secure
access tokens, rather than sending passwords back and forth, keeping the
sensitive information more secure.




HOW IS SSO IMPLEMENTED?

The process of implementing SSO can vary depending on the solution you are using
and what you need the solution to do. Get in touch with Ping Identity to help
you find the right solution and discuss the steps to get SSO implemented.




WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SSO?

Although you may hear single sign-on (SSO) and federated identity management
(FIM) frequently used together, they are not synonymous. SSO enables access to
applications and resources within a single domain. FIM enables SSO to
applications across multiple domains or organizations. Another type you may hear
about is cloud SSO. Cloud SSO provides centralized access management and lets
users authenticate their cloud-based applications and services with a single
identity for trusted providers.
