Single Sign-On (SSO) Overview

Overview

Establishing single sign-on (SSO) between Aria and your applications provides a seamless user experience for your uses. Implementing SSO offers the following advantages:

• Productivity Savings
• Increased Security
• Increased User Adoption

Many applications require users to enter a unique user name and password, forcing them to remember a specific set of login credentials to gain access. While this may not seem like an issue, consider the amount of logins required when hundreds of users each have to sign-on to multiple web applications several times a day. Couple this with the fact that users often forget or misplace their login credentials, which leads to diminished productivity and potential security risks.

To address these concerns, Aria provides single sign-on support from third-party Identity Providers (IdP). Using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0, clients can integrate Aria with a single sign-on IdP. This allows users to log-in and log-out of Aria from a single point-of-entry, such as a corporate SSO portal.

• Productivity Savings
  With SSO in place, users are not required to manually log in to Aria. Over time, this can lead to increased productivity.
• Increased Security by Limiting Risk
  Less passwords to remember or maintain prevents users from forgetting or misplacing their login credentials.
• Increased User Adoption
  Due to the convenience of not having to remember multiple login credentials, users are more likely to access Aria on a more frequent basis.
