First Cloud-Based Identity Federation Solution for Safe Mash-Ups and Business Partnerships LOS GATOS, Calif., Sept. 30
LOS GATOS, Calif., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- TriCipher answers the demands
of the new mash-up generation of online business with secure, fast and
flexible federation delivered as an on-demand service. Using myOneLogin
Federation, businesses can now build secure, dynamic communities of users and
partners, creating their own private clouds to deliver service mash-ups and
engage customers and partners in new ways. myOneLogin Federation eliminates
the uninvited user, delivering rock-solid security and fast integration,
without the burden of additional hardware, software, and heaps of
hard-to-remember passwords.
The new service, which launches today, gives fast-growing online
communities fresh ability to expand at a moment's notice -- with secure
real-time identity assurance. The key is quick access, tight controls, and
extreme flexibility -- now for an unprecedented low cost of $3 per user, per
month.
"In a mash-up world you may never meet the global partners that take you
to new markets," said Vatsal Sonecha, vice president of business development
and product management at TriCipher. "Businesses are using their networks as
platforms for commerce and need to engage in new online partnerships rapidly
without sacrificing control and integrity of their relationships."
Identity federation lets partnering businesses communicate securely, by
extending the identity assurance measures of one company to another. The
industry's first wave of federated solutions was slow to take off, because it
required a complex mix of hardware, software and expensive user authentication
tokens.
In contrast, myOneLogin Federation is entirely web-based, making
activation immediate. Suddenly, any business can safely control when and how
they connect to new partners, managing their own private clouds.
Why Federate?
Companies are staking their businesses on collaboration -- building new
products faster, and using mash-ups to quickly create new applications from
existing components. Quick, easy federation is essential.
Ingres, the open-source database company, uses myOneLogin Federation to
speed application development and strengthen ties across a distributed
developer community. Its open-source developers use the toolkit to integrate
applications freely without being tied to code, software, adaptors or
templates.
"Online business needs to be managed online," said Doug Harr, CIO at
Ingres. "We needed to make it easy for our large user and developer community
to access the many different tools and forums available to them, and to
integrate partner offerings in our online community. myOneLogin helps us do
just that, with on-demand federation delivered in the cloud."
The service supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 1.1 and
2.0, WS-Federate and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) and easily
integrates with business directories and both proprietary and non-proprietary
federation solutions.
