Many companies implement custom SSO procedures to secure their data. Enterprise Bridge transparently supports most of third-party and custom SSO systems through unique adaptive logon sequences.
Single sign-on (SSO) is a session and user authentication service that permits a user to use one set of login credentials — for example, a username and password – to access multiple applications. SSO is used by organizations of all sizes and individuals to ease the management of multiple credentials.
In a basic web SSO service, an agent module on the application server retrieves the specific authentication credentials for an individual user from a dedicated SSO policy server, while authenticating the user against a user repository, such as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol directory. The service authenticates the end user for all the applications the user has been given rights to and eliminates future password prompts for individual applications during the same session.
Below you can see an example of popular Duo SSO solution, which is often used to secure Confluence servers and is fully supported by Enterprise Bridge. See further: https://duo.com/docs/confluence
