Single Sign-on Gateway to Yahoo! Mail, Hoovers, E-Commerce Sites, Travel Sites and Dozens More Enables Rapid Response to Customer Requirements
LOS GATOS, Calif., April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- TriCipher today integrated more than 50 new Web applications into myOneLogin (http://www.myonelogin.com/), the company's strong authentication single sign-on (SSO) service that debuted five weeks ago. Already securing access to widely-used applications such as Google Apps, WebEx, salesforce.com, Microsoft Outlook Web Access and several social networking sites, myOneLogin gives users a single, simple entry point to dozens more Web applications accessed from corporate networks.
The new applications, available at http://www.myonelogin.com/supported_applications.html, include:
-- Yahoo! Mail, the Web-based e-mail service
-- Hoovers, the business information site
-- eBay, Amazon, PayPal and other e-commerce portals
-- Mint.com, Quicken and other financial sites
-- Dozens of travel sites, including those of major airlines, hotel and
rental car chains
myOneLogin is offered as software as a service (SaaS), saving the time and money otherwise required for enterprise-wide authentication hardware and software. The service acts as an SSO gateway, enabling TriCipher to rapidly extend strong authentication to any Web-based application, including custom tools -- whatever Web applications employees can get from the Internet to increase productivity and gain competitive advantage.
According to a February 2008 Gartner report by Ray Wagner and Gregg Kreizman, "SSO gateways provide software or a service that can broker authentication to SaaS providers using multiple authentication methods and protocols. Users may first authenticate to the gateway and then be provided access to the SaaS provider, or the user may attempt to access the SaaS site and have their browser session redirected to the gateway for authentication."(1)
By securing the login process -- users choose among multiple levels of protection, including browser cookies, mutual authentication, certificates and mutual secure socket layer (SSL) connections -- myOneLogin keeps fraudsters from phishing credentials and accessing corporate and personal information shared on any number of integrated applications.
TriCipher's secure SSO solution supports services that use Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OpenID or a typical username and password. In addition, the myOneLogin gateway provides a SAML module to Web service providers to help them rapidly implement this standard. For service providers unable to implement standards, myOneLogin automatically strengthens weak passwords to strong ones that comply with enterprise password policies.
"Business transactions and interactions are increasingly moving away from the enterprise and onto third-party applications," said Vatsal Sonecha, TriCipher vice president of strategy and business development. "myOneLogin helps protect corporate information wherever it resides by ensuring that only the vetted users can access it -- and proving it to management and auditors."
