Secure, Cost-Effective Implementation of Web and Java Application SSO

Leverage Active Directory for secure and cost-effective single sign-on and federation for Apache, WebLogic, JBoss and WebSphere applications

Every day, users at companies of all types and sizes rely on web and Java applications for critical business functions. While their Windows login enables them to seamlessly access Microsoft IIS-hosted applications, they are frequently challenged to log in again - with a different user name and password - when accessing applications hosted on non-Microsoft application servers.

Applications running on Apache, WebLogic, JBoss, and WebSphere have traditionally required additional authentication and identity stores that are inefficient and expensive to manage and pose security risks due to gaps in maintaining and deprovisioning accounts. Complying with SOX, HIPAA, PCI, and other government and industry regulations is also more difficult. Enterprise efficiency is impacted as well, with IT constantly provisioning and resetting passwords. Moreover, external users and partners cannot participate in federated scenarios.

Join Corey Williams, Centrify Director of Product Management for this free webinar to learn how Centrify DirectControl for Web Applications addresses these challenges by seamlessly integrating your non-Microsoft applications into your existing Active Directory domain.
