RSA sharpens focus on password problem
Tuesday, 8 June 2004 16:17 ESTRSA Security is renewing its focus on improving the security of user passwords with RSA Sign-On Manager, a rebranded version of its SecurID Passage product that the company claims will make it easier for enterprises to manage user passwords. The relaunched product will be available in September and will be able to manage user log-ins for around 90 different enterprise applications using single sign-on technology licensed from Passlogix. A new RSA technology called IntelliAccess will allow users to recover forgotten user names and passwords, saving expensive help desk calls.
Single sign-on technology allows organisations to simplify management of user access credentials. The products store credentials for multiple applications, then interact with those applications on behalf of users during login, allowing users to keep just one user name and password combination, rather than maintain a separate set of credentials for each network or web application they need to access.
