CA simplifies single sign-on

Johannesburg, 21 Jun 2007

CA has announced the availability of Application Wizard for CA single sign-on (SSO), a key component of its popular identity and access management (IAM) solution.

The Application Wizard makes it even easier for IT administrators to automate SSO so end-users can quickly take advantage of fast, convenient access to their applications.

SSO saves time, improves security and reduces help-desk calls by providing access to multiple applications through a single authentication. The Application Wizard complements the existing Tcl scripting language in CA SSO, which empowers IT administrators to SSO-enable applications with even the most complex, multi-stage logins.

This combination of wizard and script-based SSO-enablement makes CA's IAM solution uniquely suitable for implementing SSO in today's highly-diverse enterprise environments.

This latest enhancement further extends the capabilities of CA's IAM solution, which automates the management of user identities throughout their life cycle to ensure that only properly authorised users can access critical IT resources.

"Customers want to be able to realise the benefits of their IT investments quickly, but they don't want to gain fast time-to-benefit at the expense of long-term value and robust functionality," said Sam Curry, vice-president of security management at CA. "With this latest enhancement to our IAM solution, CA is once again demonstrating our ability to fulfil both our customers' near and long-term business objectives."
