We’re seeing a lot more discussion on the topic of single-sign on for SaaS environments. The issue is becoming more important as security emerges as a top concern for companies considering making the move to cloud-based environments. <\/p>\nWe’re seeing a lot more discussion on the topic of single-sign on for SaaS environments. The issue is becoming more important as security emerges as a top concern for companies considering making the move to cloud-based environments. <\/p>\n
OneLogin<\/a> is a new company that offers single sign-on, cloud-based service that allows for small and mid-sized companies to enjoy the same level of security as large enterprise companies.<\/p>\n Sponsor<\/em> Most small companies do not deploy security methods that employ SAML<\/a>, (Security Assertion Markup Language) an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains. It’s expensive to deploy. Open-source tools do exist but require someone to understand how it works and deployed in a work environment.<\/p>\n OneLogin configures a browser to give the experience of a single sign in. It bypasses the traditional user name\/password system, which often has gaping security holes. <\/p>\n To us, this is a big reason why the new breed of SaaS services are not taken seriously by security conscious enterprise customers. The security can not be trusted.<\/p>\n With OneLogin, a person would be directed to a login page that would automatically fill-in the information for the person. The person is provided their own OpenID<\/a> account. OneLogin knows the person’s session so no second authentication is required.<\/p>\n OneLogin’s infrastructure sits in the cloud, which means that a customer does not have to maintain dedicated servers and people to keep the system working.<\/p>\n There is no install. Rackspace hosts the web server and the database.<\/p>\n Two-factor authentication is available. People may use a Yubi key<\/a>, which used a USB port to plug in and activate a random number authorization. People may also soon be able to use Verisign’s VIP service that gives a mobile device the capability to generate a new password every 30 sec. You then input the number within 30 seconds to receive permission.<\/p>\n The OneLogin service works on most SaaS services, including Google Apps. There is a free service. For SAML capabilities, the cost is $8 per user per month.<\/p>\n Discuss<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n We’re seeing a lot more discussion on the topic of single-sign on for SaaS environments.
