Access Management and Single Sign-On for Web and J2EE Environments

AssureAccess simplifies access management and single sign-on (SSO) for Web and J2EE application environments. Application developers deploying secure e-business solutions can easily include authentication, SSO, authorization, audit, and security policy administration in their applications without building custom security code for each application. AssureAccess enables more reliable security implementations, shorter and more predictable deployment schedules, and lower overall application development costs.

Entegrity Solutions has been named an Approved E-Authentication Technology Provider for the Federal government’s E-Authentication Initiative.

Benefits

Consistent Enforcement of Business Policies

• Policy-based access control - AssureAccess provides full support for policy-based access control. The AssureAccess policy model provides fine-grained access management through a series of standard rules, which can be supplemented with customer business rules implemented through a simple Java interface.
  
  
• Consistent policy application - AssureAccess provides a centralized policy management model that supports hierarchical and delegated policy administration. This enables you to configure policy administration to reflect your organizational structure and processes ensuring that policy enforcement is consistent and comprehensive across the enterprise.
  
  
• Business ownership of policy administration - AssureAccess provides a GUI management console and dynamic "policy push" capabilities that enable policies to managed by their business owners without requiring developer intervention or application restarts.

Flexible and Cost-Effective Development and Maintenance

• Wide range of development options to support all use cases - AssureAccess delivers a wide range of development options to support varying degrees of access granularity and integration effort. From bolt-on filters and adapters to a full-featured Java API, you can select the tools that fit your development requirements.
  
  
• Scalability - AssureAccess readily scales to expanding demand without performance degradation. The primary processes of access management, authentication, authorization, and audit can be placed on separate servers to minimize user wait time. Authentication and audit servers can be replicated and clustered to support increasing traffic. Because authentication decisions are performed locally on the server rather than called out to a remote policy server, AssureAccess scales linearly as servers are added, minimizing hardware costs.
  
  
• Standards-based - AssureAccess is based on well-known standards, making system integration easier and more cost-effective.

Comprehensive Feature Set

• Authentication - AssureAccess supports user authentication with a wide variety of credential, typically from diverse user stores.
  

• Single sign-on - Once a user has logged into an application, single sign-on propagates his or her identity to the entire system. AssureAccess enables not only SSO between load-balanced servers, but also among diverse applications potentially running in different DNS domains.
  

• Authorization - AssureAccess supports policy-based authorization and offers a range of tools to support policy enforcement.
  

• Audit - The AssureAccess audit server provides policy-based audit features with fully configurable output.
  

• Administration - AssureAccess uses an intuitive hierarchical administrative structure that can mimic your organizational structure and enable delegated administration.
