Single Sign-On

Sign In Once To Access All Cloud Applications

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a method that provides users with seamless, secure access to all the applications and systems they need. Users only need to sign in once, after which they gain access to all their business applications through a user-friendly portal or dashboard.

Higher User Satisfaction and Productivity: Users no longer need to remember numerous complex passwords and spend less time logging in. After a single sign-in, they have immediate access to all their applications.
Reduce IT Helpdesk Workload: Because users have fewer passwords to remember, there are fewer tickets related to forgotten passwords.
Enhanced Security: SSO prevents the reuse of weak passwords and raises overall security.

Why Choose Single Sign-On?

Increase
Digital Security

Using unique, strong passwords for different applications and services is essential today. Single Sign-On helps by requiring users to remember only one strong password. This reduces the temptation to reuse weak passwords or write them down. Your organization can increase the security level without reducing usability.

Increase
Productivity

With Single Sign-On, employees do not need to sign in to each application separately. This saves valuable time and minimizes the chance of forgotten passwords. In an environment where employees use various applications and services, this can lead to significant improvements in operational efficiency.

Reduce
the IT Workload

A common problem in organizations is the constant password reset requests, which consume time and resources. Single Sign-On reduces the burden on IT departments by decreasing the number of forgotten passwords and, therefore, the number of help desk tickets. This allows IT teams to focus more on strategic initiatives and proactive security measures.

A Selection of Capabilities

Verify Identity

Streamlined user identification and authorization are key benefits of Single Sign-On. This is possible through tight integration with your Identity Provider (IdP), which serves as the central authentication service. Examples include Active Directory, Azure AD, Google Workspace, or HelloID itself.

Integrated Application Dashboard

From the application dashboard, users can view all applications they are authorized to use and access the ones they need with one click. The dashboard can also be integrated seamlessly into popular social intranets such as Embrace, Iris Intranet, and others. This integration delivers an even smoother user experience and reduces the need to switch between platforms.

Support for All Common Protocols

HelloID supports all popular Single Sign-On protocols, including Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OpenID Connect (OIDC), and Web Services Federation (WS-Federation). If the applications you use support Single Sign-On, there is a high likelihood that HelloID is compatible with them.

“When working with healthcare applications and personal data, Multi-Factor Authentication is an important additional access control measure.”

“HelloID serves as a central access point. Employees only need to sign in once to HelloID using SSO and 2FA. They then have access to their personal dashboard with all applications they are authorized for.”

“After a single sign-in via Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on the social intranet, employees also gain direct access to their SaaS applications and files thanks to HelloID’s Single Sign-On functionality.”

Single Sign-On & HelloID Access Management

HelloID Access Management is one of the modules of the HelloID Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution. The module ensures that users have simple, consistent access to the applications they need. Users sign in with a username and password. As an additional security measure, you can enable Multifactor Authentication (MFA). This requires users to verify their identity in an additional way, in addition to their login credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Single Sign-On?

Single Sign-On is an authentication method that allows users to sign in once and access multiple applications and systems. The method increases security, improves productivity, and enhances usability.

How does Single Sign-On improve my digital security?

Single Sign-On prevents password reuse and the deliberate choice of weaker passwords. Because users only need to remember one password, you reduce the likelihood of password resets and eliminate the incentive to use unsafe ones.

Are there risks associated with using Single Sign-On?

If a user's Single Sign-On credentials are compromised, an attacker could gain access to all systems to which they are connected. It is therefore important to always use strong authentication methods, such as Single Sign-On (SSO) and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

How does Single Sign-On relieve my IT helpdesk?

As users need to remember more passwords, the likelihood of forgetting one increases. Many IT helpdesks are under pressure due to a growing number of password reset requests. With Single Sign-On, you prevent this and relieve your IT helpdesk.

Is Single Sign-On suitable for every application?

HelloID supports all common Single Sign-On protocols, including SAML, OIDC, and WS-Federation. As a result, the IAM solution supports the vast majority of popular applications. Note: While most modern applications and systems support Single Sign-On, this is not always the case. Always verify that your applications support this sign-in method before you implement Single Sign-On.
